ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

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

This study tested an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can diagnose multiple neuro-ophthalmologic and neurologic conditions—such as optic nerve diseases and brain tumors—from a single retinal image. Researchers analyzed data from 693 patients with confirmed diagnoses to…

This study tested whether an AI tool that listens to heart sounds can help primary care doctors find congenital heart disease in children better than listening alone. Nearly 20,000 children aged 0-18 from schools in China took part. The goal was to see if AI assistance improves d…

This study looked at whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help diagnose ventilator-associated pneumonia (a serious lung infection) in intensive care unit patients on breathing machines. Researchers compared AI analysis of chest X-rays with evaluations from doctors and…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could detect liver and other body diseases by looking at eye images. Researchers used deep learning to analyze eye scans from 775 participants and compared the AI's accuracy to that of human doctors. The goal was to see if th…

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

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult by analyzing patient photos. Researchers took pictures of 260 adults before thoracic surgery and used AI to assess airway complexity. The goal was to see if AI could h…

This study tested whether a humanoid robot can give memory and thinking tests to people with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment at home. Researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze test results and predict how the disease might progress. The goal was to see if thi…

This study tested 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 goal was to see if the AI approach is valid…

This study tested whether a conversational AI system could safely and effectively take a patient's medical history before an urgent care visit. About 100 adults spoke with the AI, supervised by a doctor, and their primary care doctor received a summary. Researchers measured safet…

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, difficulty, and accuracy. The goal was to see if AI could provide helpful information a…

This study looked at whether giving medical students AI-generated feedback after they practice with a robotic virtual patient helps them get better at taking medical histories. 115 medical students took part. They practiced with a social robot, and some got AI feedback on their p…

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 understand how well AI aligns with clinical judgment, …

This study tested whether an AI scribe (a tool that listens and writes notes) could reduce burnout and workload for doctors. 139 doctors and advanced practice providers from primary care, oncology, and urology at the University of Washington took part. Half used the AI scribe, ha…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) could predict difficult intubation (placing a breathing tube) better than traditional physical exams. Researchers collected data from 250 adults undergoing general anesthesia, including measurements and photos. They trained A…

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 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 …
