Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence system that can estimate bone mineral density and detect osteoporosis from standard lumbar X-ray images, achieving sensitivity rates of 86.4% for osteopenia detection. The technology could transform routine clinical X-rays into powerful screening tools for bone health assessment.
Marris Medical is offering high-quality diagnostic imaging, as well as an ‘office-based laboratory’ for a range of minimally invasive procedures, improving access to care. Finance from Siemens Financial Services (SFS) and equipment from Siemens Healthineers was integral to the clinic’s launch in the UK.
A groundbreaking stem cell repository has been established using blood samples from over 100 individuals selected for their extreme genetic risk profiles for Alzheimer’s disease. The IPMAR resource will enable researchers worldwide to study how genetic variants contribute to the neurodegenerative condition in laboratory models.
A major NHS study has demonstrated that pharmacogenomic testing can be successfully integrated into routine clinical practice, with genomic data seamlessly incorporated into electronic health records to guide safer prescribing decisions. The PROGRESS programme showed that 95% of patients carried actionable genetic variants related to common medications, leading to prescription adjustments in over a quarter […]
Germany’s leading medical technology company Siemens Healthineers has announced a strategic cooperation agreement with Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin to develop innovative preventive medicine concepts, with an initial focus on cardiovascular disease prevention through advanced imaging and artificial intelligence technologies.
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a revolutionary wireless implant that could transform chronic pain management for millions of patients. The ultrasound-induced wireless implantable (UIWI) stimulator combines artificial intelligence with flexible bioelectronics to deliver personalised spinal cord stimulation without requiring batteries or invasive surgical procedures.
Carnegie Mellon University scientists have demonstrated the first noninvasive brain-computer interface capable of controlling individual robotic fingers in real-time using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. The breakthrough study, involving 21 participants, achieved 80.56% accuracy for two-finger control tasks and represents a significant advance in dexterous robotic manipulation through thought alone. .
Researchers have discovered a molecular fingerprint called the “traumome” that becomes accessible within minutes of severe injury. The breakthrough could enable targeted treatments to be delivered directly to trauma sites, with the potential to significantly advance emergency trauma care for patients with life-threatening injuries.
A damning BMJ investigation has blown open a scandal at the heart of modern cardiology, revealing how AstraZeneca’s billion-dollar blockbuster ticagrelor may have reached patients through manipulated data, missing evidence, and phantom investigators in clinical trials that regulators failed to properly scrutinise.
Large Language Model (LLM) artificial intelligence systems increasingly deployed across healthcare settings pose serious risks to patient safety, with new research revealing these tools systematically recommend reduced medical care for women and vulnerable populations based on irrelevant factors such as typing errors and communication style rather than clinical need.
