AI, doctors team up to improve, expedite diagnoses
Scientists create algorithms that read X-rays and MRIs in an effort to enhance doctor's diagnoses of certain disease and injury.
AI could help veterinarians code their notes
A new algorithm helps turn veterinary notes into systemic codes, a development that could help track disease and enable drug trials.
The future of ethics and biomedicine: An interview
In this radio show, Stanford bioethicist David Magnus and host Russ Altman discuss the ethical implications of using AI in health care.
How should an algorithm generate recommendations for patient care?
A Stanford study examines a key aspect of artificial intelligence: If machines provide advice for patient care, who should those machines be learning from?
How AI can improve end-of-life care
Stanford pilot program marries technology and compassion, artificial intelligence and palliative care, so doctors can help patients die on their own terms.
Will doctors be replaced by algorithms?
While some fear artificial intelligence making inroads into health care, Stanford Medicine Dean Lloyd Minor welcomes it.
Can genome sequencing be used to predict disease? Quite possibly, new research suggests
Scientists have developed an algorithm that combines genome sequence data and electronic health information to predict risk for genetic disease.
From AI to clinical informatics, Big Data conference videos offer deeper dive
Video interviews from Stanford's Big Data in Precision Health conference explore topics from artificial intelligence in radiology to clinical informatics.
What happens when you take a bunch of medications? A new algorithm could help doctors figure it out
Testing the side effects of every drug combination is impractical, but Stanford researchers think they have a better way: artificial intelligence.
A look at intelligent listening technologies from Stanford Medicine
Researchers are using AI listening technologies to improve mental-health, diagnose autism and discover adverse drug reactions.
Artificial intelligence in medicine — predicting patient outcomes and beyond
Stanford researcher Nigam Shah discusses a new study in which a machine learning system predicts patient outcomes, and he outlines the implications for artificial intelligence in medicine.
Symposium discusses promise and pitfalls of technology in medicine
A Stanford symposium asks: In the midst of technological progress, how do doctors retain the human touch with patients and ensure that new developments enhance, rather than impede, their profession?
Improving patient safety with bedside computer vision
Can computers carry out hospital safety-monitoring tasks better than humans? A Stanford research team has been testing the idea; so far, it's working well.
Stanford researchers probe the ethics of using artificial intelligence in medicine
Physicians should consider the ethical challenges of using artificial intelligence in making patient care decisions, three Stanford University School of Medicine researchers say in a perspective piece in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Stanford Presence Center symposium grapples with balancing human and artificial intelligence in medicine
Stanford’s Abraham Verghese believes there should be a more nuanced conversation around what artificial intelligence can do for doctors.
