Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab has created Seq2Symm, an open-source AI tool that helps scientists determine the 3D shapes of certain proteins, including those found in viruses.
Seq2Symm uses AI to predict a protein's 3D shape and structure from a one-dimensional sequence. The tool could help researchers better understand diseases, develop drugs and vaccines, and create more sustainable materials....
A large language model-powered AI assistant developed in Hong Kong has demonstrated high accuracy in thyroid cancer staging and risk classification.
A team of researchers from the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), the InnoHK Laboratory of Data Discovery for Health, and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine conducted the study which built what...
A program to screen women for cervical cancer using AI has been launched in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
Community organisation Ho Chi Minh City Public Health Association (HPHA) partnered with listed Australian company TruScreen and its local distributor Gorton Health Services to run the community-based program, which aims to screen 260,000 women in the city over five years.
The partnership...
A new study from South Korea has demonstrated the use of AI models to possibly diagnose and stratify attention deficit hyperactivity disorder by analysing eye images.
FINDINGS
Researchers from Yonsei University Health System used four machine learning models and the AutoMorph deep learning pipeline to analyse approximately 1,108 retinal fundus photographs from over 600 children with ADHD and...
$2M funding for carers of CALD people with dementia
Independent non-profit National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) has received federal grant funding for its project enabling digital support for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people with dementia.
It obtained A$2.9 million ($1.8 million) from the Medical Research Future Fund for its five-year project, which will trial the iSupport...
Coreline Soft announces first China partnership
South Korean medical AI company Coreline Soft has entered into its first partnership in China.
It signed a memorandum of understanding with Suhai Information Technology, which reportedly runs a network of medical institutions in China. Coreline Soft will tap into this network to collect clinical data, which will help tailor its AI software...
Phantom Neuro, a neurotechnology company that offers a muscle-machine interface for controlling prosthetic limbs and robotic exoskeletons, announced an oversubscribed $19 million Series A funding round, bringing its total raise to $28 million.
Ottobock led the round with participation from existing investors Draper Associates, Time BioVentures, Breakout Ventures, Risk and Return, and LionBird...
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released two memos directed to the heads of all executive branch departments and agencies establishing policies on federal AI use and purchase of AI in government.
The memos, which align with an Executive Order President Donald Trump signed in January, replace former President Joe Biden's previous guidance (M-24-10 and M-24-18) but maintain...
Seoul National University Hospital has developed what could be the first medical large language model in South Korea.
The project to develop the medical LLM began last year in March. The SNUH research team started by collecting 38 million clinical texts, including hospital admissions, outpatients, surgical, prescription, and nursing records, and de-identified and anonymised them to create a base...
Asan Medical Center has developed a voice-based clinical documentation system powered by a large language model.
HOW IT WORKS
The system automatically records and analyses conversations – including identifying symptoms and classifying diseases – between and among staff and patients in near real-time. It also creates patients' medical records on the spot which are automatically saved to AMIS 3.0,...
