David Brent and PIttsburgh and Carnegie Mellon colleagues used machine learning to identify suicidal thoughts in subjects based on fMRI scans. In a recent study, 18 suicidal participants and 18 members of a control...
Migraine Alert by Second Opinion Health uses machine learning to analayze weather, activity, sleep, and stress, to determine if a user will have a migraine headache. The company claims that the algorithm is effective...

Yuichi Mori and Showa University colleagues haved used AI to identify bowel cancer by analyzing colonoscopy derived polyps in less than a second. The system compares a magnified view of a colorectal polyp with 30,000...
Cristof Koch and Allen Institute colleagues have created 3D computer reconstructions of living human brain cells using discarded surgical tissue. As the tissue is still alive when it reaches the lab, the virtual cells are...
MIT’s Regina Barzilay has used AI to improve breast cancer detection and diagnosis. Machine learning tools predict if a high-risk lesion identified on needle biopsy after a mammogram will upgrade to cancer at surgery, potentially...
Neurodegenerative disease cases have, unfortunately, far outpaced the number of neurologists able to diagnose and treat patients, particularly in rural areas. A recent study highlighted 20 states that were or would become “dementia neurology deserts,” Remote...
In addition to robots with increasingly human-like faces, being used as companions, “patient” robots are being developed to test medical equipment and procedures on babies and adults. Yoshio Matsumoto and AIST colleagues created a robotic skeletal...
Jonathan Posner, with University of Washington and UCLA colleagues, has developed a flexible sensor “skin” that can be stretched over prostheses to determine force and vibration. The skin mimics the way a human finger...
USC’s Sook-Lei Liew is using VR to help motor-impaired stroke patients promote brain plasticity. The goal is to train them to move their limbs again. Her REINVENT study uses BCI to control an avatar. Electrical signatures...
