AI-powered heart MRI measurements better predict patients' survival

Artificial intelligence (AI) measurements of heart function from MRI scans are more strongly linked to how long patients live after their scan than measurements made by clinicians, suggesting that AI could provide a useful first-line approach to measuring heart function.

Wearable devices and AI provide early warning signs of hypertensive crises

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze patterns in measures from a portable cuff-based blood pressure monitor and health data from a wrist-worn device may help identify when adults with stage 2 high blood pressure (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg) are at increased risk of a dangerously high blood pressure episode (>180/120 mm Hg with acute end-organ damage), known as a hypertensive crisis, up to three days before it occurs, according to new, independent, preliminary research to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2026.

New computational tool simulates evolution of jumping genes

A genome contains all of the DNA of every living organism, but its contents don't stop there – most of these structures also contain snippets of DNA that can copy and paste themselves to "infect" a genome, expanding its size.

African nations seek decision-making power over gene-drive malaria tools

Gene-drive technology, which could stop mosquitoes spreading malaria, is so far confined to laboratories. But as researchers work towards possible field trials in Africa, questions emerge about who will decide how the technology is tested, governed and used.

Is AI changing what gives our lives meaning?

A rapid review of 18 publications examines how artificial intelligence, immersive technologies, and other digital tools influence identity, existential inquiry, and the search for meaning. The findings suggest that digital literacy and knowledge management may support more reflective engagement with technology, although the evidence remains varied and does not establish causation.
