Dr. Rizwan Malik, Clinical Lead for Radiology at the Royal Bolton Hospital in UK planned to test qXR, an artificial intelligence (AI) driven chest x-ray system developed by Qure.ai, a company based in Mumbai, India, when he noticed some of his patients needed to wait long hours for a specialist to e
A good part of the first-ever virtual AIMed conference - AIMed Cardiology took place last week focused on data. Specifically, critiquing information deriving from electronic health records (EHRs) are not analysis-ready and if there can be efficient ways to process data without creating additional co
Last week, the first-ever virtual AIMed conference - AIMed Cardiology touched on how wearable technology could play an important part in outpatient care. Particularly, if they were to pair with artificial intelligence (AI) to improve on accuracy and predict the onsets of certain medical conditions.

It’s challenging to clinically adopt a new technology partly because a user interface needs to be intuitive and flexible. It has to accommodate different user habits as clinicians may not necessarily have the time to learn something new from scratch. As such, designing a seamless program to be used
The COVID-19 pandemic is running its apocalyptic course around the world. One thing is certain in the midst of total uncertainty and utter chaos: SARS-CoV-2 is a very daunting enemy and we remain totally subjugated by these viral overlords. It is easy, therefore, for we humans to lose patience and b

As we celebrate another International Clinical Trials Day, it is vital to acknowledge the past, understand the present and improve the future of clinical trial practices and ergo, medicine. Clinical trials are the most fit for purpose way to test the efficacy and safety of new clinical interventions
Epic, one of the electronic health records (EHRs) providers in the US uses machine learning to produce a deterioration index which gives clinicians a quick overview of the risks each patient faces. The system is now being used by dozens of hospitals in the country to forecast which COVID-19 patient
