Health Tech, or digital health, helps us understand and take control of our own health. But we also cover more traditional health news like medicines, vaccines and medical procedures.
Instead of learning from text and images, BrainLM is trained to interpret functional images from the brain. This facilitates comprehensive studies in neuroscience and improves understanding of human cognition.
By introducing generative AI into its processes, Kry has significantly increased its internal efficiency. The administrative time around each patient-doctor meeting has been reduced by approximately 30 percent.
Mortality from cardiovascular diseases has decreased by 4.7 percent from 2010 to 2020. The number of people in the USA dying from heart attacks each year has decreased from 1 in 2 to now 1 in 8. Stroke has also decreased. It was the third leading cause of death in 1938 but is now in fifth place.
The non-invasive ultrasound technology targets specific brain areas, enhancing drug delivery. Focused ultrasound, combined with monoclonal antibody therapy, shows promise in reducing Alzheimer's disease plaques.
Moderna's mRNA cancer vaccine shows a 49 percent reduction in melanoma recurrence or death.
The urgent need for new structural classes of antibiotics is critical in combating the escalating problem of antibiotic resistance. Deep learning methods have significantly contributed to the exploration of chemical structures in this field.
The FDA recently approved a pioneering CRISPRβCas9 therapy for sickle cell disease, marking a historic moment in genetic treatment. But that it is just the tip of the iceberg.
While one patient is being operated on, the next one is prepared and is immediately rolled in as soon as the first one is finished.
The approvals include the first-ever CRISPR-Cas9 based drug, Casgevy, and a gene therapy drug, Lyfgenia, marking a milestone in medical biotechnology.
