AI: Real-World Evidence (RWE) Projects for Life Sciences

Deep 6 AI, the leader in AI-powered patient recruitment and real-world data (RWD), together with Magnolia Market Access, a provider of tailored RWD insights and strategies for market access, health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), and healthcare policy, today announced a partnership to accelerate stakeholder decision-making across the pharmaceutical, biologic, and medical device product lifecycle. The combined RWE generation solution uses AI to develop fit-for-purpose, analysis-ready clinical data sets from electronic medical record (EMR) data months faster than traditional approaches. Typically, it can take life sciences companies a year or more to contract with healthcare organizations to gain access to EMR data. Site staff then shoulder the burden of manually identifying and pulling potentially eligible patient charts. The offering from Deep 6 AI and Magnolia Market Access uses AI to instantly and precisely find patients that are eligible for research…

ChatGPT schreibt bessere Berichte als Radiologen

ChatGPT extrahiert Daten bei ischämischen Schlaganfall nahezu perfekt – Bonner Forschende stellen bei Datenübertragung aus der Thrombektomie kaum Unterschiede zwischen Experte und KI fest. Eine Forschergruppe rund um Nils Lehnen, Oberarzt an der Klinik für Diagnostische und Interventionelle Neuroradiologie und Kinderneuroradiologie des Universitätsklinikums Bonn (UKB), hat dafür zunächst eine deutsche Eingabeaufforderung für ChatGPT erstellt und diese an 20 Berichten getestet, um Fehler zu identifizieren und die Aufforderung anschließend anpassen zu können. Nach der Ausbesserung wurde die Datenextraktion mittels ChatGPT an 100 internen Berichten aus dem UKB getestet. Zum optimalen Vergleich stellte zusätzlich ein erfahrener Neuroradiologe die Ergebnisse zusammen, ohne die Auswertung von ChatGPT zu sehen. Anschließend verglichen die Forschenden die Ergebnisse und stellten fest, dass ChatGPT 94 Prozent der Fälle richtig extrahiert hatte und keine Nachbearbeitung erforderlich war. Dabei werteten die Forschenden nur die Daten von ChatGPT als richtig, die…

Retinal thickness predicts Parkinson  progression

A study by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and Biobizkaia proposes using an available, simple, non-invasive tool to monitor this neurodegeneration Although there are still some aspects pending confirmation for its use in the clinical setting, and its resolution needs to be improved slightly, a study by the UPV/EHU and Biobizkaia has shown that a method routinely used to carry out ophthalmological tests can also be used to monitor the neurodegeneration that occurs in Parkinson’s patients. In the course of the research it was found that the neurodegeneration of the retina probably precedes cognitive impairment. Today, identifying Parkinson’s patients at risk of cognitive impairment poses a major challenge, yet this is necessary when it comes to providing more effective clinical treatments and stepping up clinical trials. In fact, Dr Ane Murueta-Goyena, in collaboration with Biobizkaia’s research staff, wanted…

Tumormarker für Patienten beim Hausarzt: Eine Übersicht

Die Biomarkerforschung hat in den letzten Jahren rasante Fortschritte gemacht und spielt heute eine wichtige Rolle in der Krebsdiagnostik und -therapie. Tumormarker sind messbare biologische Merkmale, die Hinweise auf das Vorhandensein, den Verlauf oder das Ansprechen auf eine Behandlung einer Krebserkrankung geben können. Arten von Krebsbiomarkern: Genetische Biomarker: Diese Biomarker identifizieren Veränderungen in der DNA oder RNA von Krebszellen. Dazu können Mutationen, Deletionen oder Amplifikationen von Genen gehören. Proteinexpression: Diese Biomarker messen die Menge bestimmter Proteine, die in Krebszellen oder im Blutkreislauf erhöht oder erniedrigt sein können. Metaboliten: Diese Biomarker messen bestimmte Chemikalien, die im Blut oder Urin krebskranker Patienten in unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen vorkommen können. Bildgebende Biomarker: Diese Biomarker verwenden bildgebende Verfahren wie Computertomographie (CT) oder Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT), um die Größe, Lage und Funktion von Tumoren zu beurteilen. Welche Biomarker sind beim Hausarzt verfügbar? Die Verfügbarkeit von Krebsbiomarkern beim Hausarzt…

AI-assisted breast-cancer screening may reduce unnecessary testing

Using artificial intelligence (AI) to supplement radiologists’ evaluations of mammograms may improve breast-cancer screening by reducing false positives without missing cases of cancer, according to a study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Whiterabbit.ai, a Silicon Valley-based technology startup. The researchers developed an algorithm that identified normal mammograms with very high sensitivity. They then ran a simulation on patient data to see what would have happened if all of the very low-risk mammograms had been taken off radiologists’ plates, freeing the doctors to concentrate on the more questionable scans. The simulation revealed that fewer people would have been called back for additional testing but that the same number of cancer cases would have been detected. “False positives are when you call a patient back for additional testing, and it turns out to be benign,”…

FDA Roundup: April 9, 2024

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is providing an at-a-glance summary of news from around the agency: U.S. Food and Drug Administration 09 Apr, 2024, 15:31 ET On Friday, the FDA authorized for marketing MMI North America, Inc.’s Symani Surgical System, indicated for use during certain microsurgical procedures on small blood vessels and lymphatic ducts in adults. The system includes the use of a motion scaling function, which scales down the surgeon’s movements. Microsurgery covers procedures involving the use of microscopes and small instruments to perform small-scale surgical techniques. The system is intended for use by trained physicians in the operating environments described in the device’s labeling. On Friday, the FDA granted accelerated approval to fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.) for adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive (IHC3+) solid tumors who have received prior systemic treatment and…
