AI learned from cardiologists’ notes, and needed far less labeled ECG data

By teaching an AI system to connect raw heart signals with the clinical insights contained in cardiologists’ reports, researchers tested whether routine ECGs could reveal more with far fewer labeled examples.

KAIST researchers develop flexible micro-LED mask for better skincare

Home beauty devices that let users care for their skin conveniently at home have grown popular recently, but conventional LED masks are limited not only by their rigid structures but also by their point-emitting LEDs, which must be positioned away from the skin to spread light over a broader area.

Demographic reporting for medical AI remains inadequate, study shows

The recent flood of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and content has undoubtedly brought along an unwelcome bug from the human-made content it scrapes from: bias. AI has been noted to form, copy, and amplify harmful stereotypes of already marginalized groups.

ECG-CLIP improves heart disease detection using less labeled data

Clinicians often use a medical test called a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) to diagnose heart problems, which uses electrodes placed on the chest and limbs to record the heart's electrical activity.

Smartwatches may overestimate calories burned during exercise

Smartwatches can significantly overestimate how many calories people burn during exercise, and their calorie estimates become less accurate as body fat increases, according to a new Florida International University study.

New nondestructive imaging technique tracks immune cell health

When a patient is facing certain cancers or an immune condition, clinicians turn to their white blood cells for clues about the progression of both diseases and their treatments.

New scLS algorithm advances gene expression trajectory analysis

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a method to measure gene expression of individual cells, allowing observation of various cellular processes, including cell differentiation, the cell cycle, and stimulus-response for each unique cell instead of averaging across millions of cells.
