It recently signed a three-year agreement with Capio S:t Göran Hospital to supply and license its AI-powered mammography analysis software Lunit INSIGHT MMG.
According to a press release, the AI tool will enable the hospital to...
A new AI model for diagnosing sleep apnea has been developed by a research team at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
The deep learning model analyses cephalograms, focusing on the tongue and its surrounding structures, which are highly associated with sleep apnea.
Based on a press statement, the model was developed using head and neck x-ray image data of 5,591 patients at SNUBH. It was...
Engineering and IT researchers from Monash University have combined nanotechnology and AI to create wearable technology for remote health monitoring.
They came up with an ultra-thin wearable patch that is worn on the neck to measure speech, neck movement and touch, as well as breathing and heart rates. It does this using a frequency/amplitude-based neural network called Deep Hybrid-Spectro, which...
A team of researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and California-based medical research institute Sanford Burnham Prebys has come up with a new computational model to predict whether a patient with Type 2 diabetes will develop kidney disease.
The said model, according to a press statement, measures markers of DNA methylation – a process that occurs when subtle changes accumulate in...
Lunit is expanding its deployment of an AI imaging solution to South Korean military facilities and troops overseas.
This comes following the successful pilot deployment of Lunit INSIGHT CXR, its AI-powered chest x-ray analysis software, last year in the army, navy, and air force medical institutions, including the Armed Forces Medical Command and the Armed Forces Capital Hospital.
The company...
ML tool predicts Parkinson's onset
A research team from the University of New South Wales, together with their collaborators from Boston University, has come up with an AI tool that could be potentially used to predict Parkinson's disease years before the onset of initial symptoms.
The machine learning tool called CRANK-MS, (Classification and Ranking Analysis using Neural network generates...
Steven Lazer, global healthcare and life sciences chief technology officer at Dell Technologies, sat down with MobiHealthNews during the 2023 HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition to discuss how he takes intellectual property from Dell, as well as from other organizations, and brings it together with technology to create solutions for the healthcare and life sciences team....
