The proliferation of consumer-grade artificial intelligence has placed a universe of information at our fingertips, yet for questions concerning personal health, the stakes are infinitely higher than a simple search query. As individuals increasingly turn to general AI chatbots for medical
The recommendation for a breast biopsy can trigger a cascade of anxiety and uncertainty, a difficult experience made more common by the limitations of current screening technologies. For many women, particularly those with dense breast tissue, standard mammograms and follow-up ultrasounds often
With a background in robotics and the Internet of Things, James Maitland has spent his career at the intersection of technology and medicine. He brings a unique perspective to one of the most pressing challenges in health tech today: how to regulate the powerful, ever-evolving artificial
The relentless pursuit of technological solutions in medicine has positioned artificial intelligence as a potential game-changer in the fight against breast cancer, with much of the excitement centered on developing ever-more powerful and complex algorithms. However, a growing body of evidence
The genomics revolution, which promised to unlock the secrets of biology at an unprecedented speed, has encountered a significant and unexpected traffic jam that has slowed progress in labs around the world. While the cost and time required for DNA sequencing have plummeted dramatically, the
The successful delivery of modern healthcare, particularly in island communities, often hinges on access to timely and precise diagnostic imaging, a challenge that can significantly impact patient outcomes. PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center has taken a monumental step in addressing this need
Recent research has brought to light a significant and largely unaddressed environmental issue stemming from a cornerstone of modern medicine: diagnostic imaging. The chemical contrast agents essential for enhancing the clarity of procedures like CT scans and MRIs are now understood to be
The landscape of modern medicine is undergoing a seismic shift, moving away from the traditional model of episodic, reactive care centered in clinics and hospitals toward a more integrated and continuous approach. At the heart of this transformation is the Internet of Things (IoT), a network of
In the ongoing battle against lung cancer, early detection remains the most powerful weapon, yet the subtle nature of its initial signs often leads to diagnoses at advanced stages when treatment options are limited. Two prominent Dutch medical institutions, Catharina Ziekenhuis in Eindhoven and
The sophisticated piece of technology strapped to your wrist is no longer just a step counter or a sleep tracker; it is evolving into a powerful health monitor capable of collecting complex physiological data that once required a visit to a doctor's office. This rapid technological advancement has
