In a randomized clinical trial, alerts based on the detection of abnormalities in electrocardiograms using a deep learning algorithm reduced
A recent comprehensive study demonstrated that AI-assisted interpretation of ECGs effectively identified high-risk patients, leading to a statistically significant, though modest, decrease in 90-day mortality rates. This finding underscores the potential of AI to enhance patient outcomes. However, the marginal benefits observed in regions with already high standards of healthcare suggest that AI’s impact may be more pronounced in varied clinical settings. To fully leverage AI’s capabilities, further large-scale research is necessary to pinpoint where AI can be most advantageous. Additionally, it is crucial to investigate how AI discerns these high-risk patients and to determine which specific interventions contributed to the reduced mortality rates.
1/100 days of productivity🧐 I started to rewrite my biology notes because my other notebook is kinda broke. And this helps me to remember the things that I’ve learned this year. Also I am pretty happy with the way my neuron came out.😊 #keepstudying #futuremed #oneyearleft
Denmark is already assembling large health databases on individuals, and Norway is planning to do the same. According to the NEJM Obama’s initiative on Precision Medicine the U.S. will result in large scale population testing:
Ultimately, we will need to evaluate the most promising approaches in much larger numbers of people over longer periods. Toward this end, we envisage assembling over time a longitudinal “cohort” of 1 million or more Americans who have volunteered to participate in research. Participants will be asked to give consent for extensive characterization of biologic specimens (cell populations, proteins, metabolites, RNA, and DNA — including whole-genome sequencing, when costs permit) and behavioral data, all linked to their electronic health records. Qualified researchers from many organizations will, with appropriate protection of patient confidentiality, have access to the cohort’s data, so that the world’s brightest scientific and clinical minds can contribute insights and analysis. These data will also enable observational studies of drugs and devices and potentially prompt more rigorous interventional studies that address specific questions.

p>Epidemiology as we know it will have to change as “cohorts” will now consist of entire populations.

Diabetes Therapy: Tech vs. Biology
The writing has been on the wall for some time, and it seems that diabetes patients will soon receive easier and better care through mobile and nanotechnology.
With stories like this
A tremendous step forward has been made in the treatment of this disease when a 4-year-old boy from Australia was fitted with the world’s first commercially-available artificial pancreas which automatically regulates his insulin levels.
It's easy to get excited, but we're not there yet. The most optimal solution would be a microscopic artificial pancreas which could be implanted into the patient–or we could just improve on the tried and tested method of transplantation. This solution is currently reserved for those with serious diabetic complications, as the treatment has substantial downsides. Other possible biological solution in the near future could be treatment with pancreatic growth hormones or genetic therapy. Still, the technological solutions have one major advantage: The patients do not risk serious complications.
The thin, flexible device created by nanoengineers at UCSD is based on the much bulkier GlucoWatch, a now-discontinued wristband that worked through the same glucose-sucking principal. But the electric current GlucoWatch used to attract glucose to the surface of the skin was too high, and wearers were not keen on the discomfort. This temporary tattoo gets around the problem by using a gentler but still effective current. It then detects glucose through an enzyme that breaks glucose down into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The amount of hydrogen peroxide is a proxy for blood glocal levels.
“This is a watershed event,” said Dr. Bruce Quinn, a health-policy specialist at the law firm Foley Hoag. “It means that policy makers now believe these tests are worth paying for.”
