How AI will liberate doctors from keyboards and basements | Eric Topol

Published on May 19, 2019

Eric Topol, a professor in the Department of Molecular Medicine at Scripps, is an executive vice president at Scripps Research and the founder and director of Scripps Research Translational Institute (previously Scripps Translational Science Institute). His work melds genomics, big data, and both information technologies and digital health technologies to advance the promise of personalized medicine. He is the author of "Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again"
 
Article "The Hidden Challenges of China’s Booming Medical AI Market"
At an estimated market size of RMB 20 billion in 2018, China’s medical artificial intelligence (AI) market promises vast opportunities for US companies with innovative AI products and solutions. Yet, businesses that do not have the foresight and resources to deal with complex regulatory challenges may struggle to thrive in this competitive market. If US companies want to succeed, they must position themselves strategically and mitigate regulatory risks through clever partnerships and targeted policy advocacy.

Artificial Intelligence in cardiology: introduction to A.I.

Published on Aug 8, 2019

Mayo Clinic cardiologist Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., discusses artificial intelligence in cardiology.

Artificial Intelligence is the ability to make computers or machines learn to solve problems that would otherwise involve a human to do it. Artificial intelligence in medicine is used to diagnose many medical conditions.
 

Artificial intelligence in medicine: Mayo Clinic Radio

Nov 9, 2019

On the Mayo Clinic Radio podcast, Dr. Bradley Erickson, a Mayo Clinic diagnostic radiologist, will discuss AI in medicine and society.

This interview originally aired Nov. 9, 2019.

When you think of artificial intelligence (AI), you might imagine what you see in the movies: robots, self-driving vehicles, and computers that think and act like humans. You might already be using AI every day when you ask Siri or Alexa for help. AI might be better described as machine learning or deep learning, and it is a fast-growing part of medicine, changing how health care providers treat patients. For example, AI is being used at Mayo Clinic to detect heart disease, treat stroke patients faster and create algorithms for diagnostic radiology.
 

The medical potential of AI and metabolites | Leila Pirhaji

Nov 20, 3019

Many diseases are driven by metabolites -- small molecules in your body like fat, glucose and cholesterol -- but we don't know exactly what they are or how they work. Biotech entrepreneur and TED Fellow Leila Pirhaji shares her plan to build an AI-based network to characterize metabolite patterns, better understand how disease develops -- and discover more effective treatments.
 

Artificial Intelligence meets mental health therapy | Andy Blackwell | TEDxNatick

Mar 11, 2020

Andy and his team are using AI in the delivery of mental health care for tens of thousands of patients with compelling results. He shares their approach as well as a vision for treating mental health conditions, which underpins his "Eight Billion Minds" program. Andy is Group Chief Science and Strategy Officer at IESO Digital Health in Cambridge, UK. His career has focused on developing innovative technologies that can improve the lives of those with mental health challenges. He trained in psychology and neuroscience at the University of St. Andrews and the University of Cambridge. Andy Blackwell is a scientist and healthcare technology entrepreneur who believes that data in our healthcare systems will fuel the discovery of a new generation of treatments and eradicate "trial and error" from medicine. This year he launched "8 Billion Minds", a ground-breaking technology program using deep learning to decode and democratize the treatment of mental health conditions. Andy trained in cognitive neuroscience and psychology at the Univ. of St. Andrews and the Univ. of Cambridge. Through clinical research Andy has seen first-hand the often devastating impact that mental health conditions such as Depression and Anxiety Disorders have on patients and their families; this experience drives his determination to improve the quality of treatments available. Andy has worked extensively with neuroscience labs and major pharma, biotech and medical devices companies around the world and serves as Group Chief Science and Strategy Officer at Ieso Digital Health in Cambridge, UK.
 

Robot surgeons and 4 other medical advances that sound like sci-fi

May 3, 2020

Modern medicine is wonderful, but even in a world where open-heart surgery and brain-scanning headsets sound almost mundane, some medical advances do truly seem like science fiction. From robot-assisted microsurgery to reanimated organs, here are 5 futuristic advancements that are actually around today.
 

How we're using AI to discover new antibiotics | Jim Collins

May 26, 2020

Before the coronavirus pandemic, bioengineer Jim Collins and his team combined the power of AI with synthetic biology in an effort to combat a different looming crisis: antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Collins explains how they pivoted their efforts to begin developing a series of tools and antiviral compounds to help fight COVID-19 -- and shares their plan to discover seven new classes of antibiotics over the next seven years. (This ambitious plan is part of The Audacious Project, TED's initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
