ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could help primary care doctors find hidden heart defects in children. Nearly 20,000 children aged 0-18 were screened using either a doctor's stethoscope alone or a stethoscope with AI assistance. The goal was to see if AI co…

This study looked at whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors better diagnose ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Researchers used a deep-learning AI to analyze chest X-rays taken before and at the time of VAP diagnosi…

This study tested an artificial intelligence (AI) model that combines CT scans, pathology images, and patient data to diagnose gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), predict their risk level, and identify genetic mutations. Researchers enrolled 300 adults with suspected stomach…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can better predict when placing a breathing tube during anesthesia will be difficult. Researchers collected physical measurements and photos from 250 adults before surgery, then trained computer models to spot patterns. The g…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can predict how much pain a person will feel after lung surgery. Researchers looked at data from 601 patients who had lung resections. The goal is to help doctors give the right pain medicine to the right patients, avoiding u…

This study compared how well an AI chatbot (ChatGPT) and doctors answered common questions from people with knee or hip osteoarthritis. 286 patients rated the responses for preference, length, and difficulty. The goal was to see if AI could provide acceptable and accurate informa…

This study looked at 624 emergency room patients to see if an AI tool (ChatGPT-4o) could correctly predict who needed intensive care. Researchers compared the AI's predictions to the decisions made by doctors. The goal was to find out if AI could help reduce mistakes in ICU admis…

This educational study looked at whether AI-generated feedback after virtual patient visits helps medical students improve their history-taking skills. 115 medical students at Karolinska Institutet used a social robotic virtual patient platform. Some received AI feedback after ea…

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm could accurately diagnose multiple neuro-ophthalmologic and neurologic conditions—such as optic nerve diseases and brain tumors—from standard retinal images. Researchers analyzed data from 693 patients with confi…

This study tested an AI system that uses optical character recognition and large language models to automatically pull key information from medical records of 308 patients with coronary artery disease. The AI extracted 10 clinical details (like lab results) and diagnosed disease …

This study explored whether artificial intelligence (AI) can detect diseases like liver problems by analyzing eye images. Researchers used eye scans from 775 participants to train AI models. The goal was to see if the AI could spot signs of disease as well as or better than human…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can predict if placing a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) will be difficult. Researchers took photos of 260 patients' head and neck before surgery and used AI to analyze them. The goal was to see if the AI could mat…

This study looked at whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool could help measure dental anxiety in children aged 3 to 6 during their first dental visit. Researchers compared the AI method with standard picture-based anxiety scales. The study did not provide any treatment, onl…

This study tested whether a conversational AI system could safely and effectively take a patient's medical history before an urgent care appointment. About 100 adults with a new medical concern spoke with the AI a few days before seeing their doctor, while a physician monitored f…

This study tested two different AI scribe tools to see if they could help doctors spend less time writing notes and feel less burned out. 238 doctors at UCLA Health were randomly assigned to use one of the two AI tools or continue their usual routine for two months. The goal was …

This study tested whether a humanoid robot can give memory and thinking tests to people with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at home. 23 adults aged 40-80 took part. The goal was to see if the robot could collect test results and help doctors predict how the dise…
