Patients recovering from brain and spinal cord injuries could soon benefit from virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation delivered directly at their hospital bedside, according to a new study.
Researchers have discovered that teaching Large Language Models (LLMs) to mimic human intuition and reasoning significantly improves their ability to provide accurate medical care-seeking advice.
New models help identify cardiovascular disease risk even before symptoms appear. The researcher's findings also indicate that the risk of heart failure is not evenly distributed across Europe.
Discussion at the Pharmaceutical Automation and Digitalisation Congress (AUTOMA+) 2026 recognises that artificial intelligence is an important part of clinical innovation, positioning it as a practical tool for improving speed, decision accuracy and transparency in drug development. Industry attention is increasingly shifting towards AI-driven data ecosystems, advanced analytics and intelligent…
A compact LED module pairs UV-A, green and IR light with a matched photodiode to detect AGE autofluorescence — bringing biochemical risk screening to wearables and point of care testing.
RFID – the same wireless technology that can track pets or locate items – can also be used to measure breathing in patients with impaired lung function contactlessly – in hospital or at home.
AI models can generate more complete summaries of complex cancer pathology reports than physicians, according to a new study that tested six models developed by Meta, Google, DeepSeek and Mistral AI.
Researchers have developed a flexible optical fiber that can be threaded through a medical endoscope and steered into the larynx to destroy hard-to-reach tumors on the vocal folds.
Registration has officially opened for the International Trade Fair of Medical Equipment and Instruments Salmed Connect 2026, taking place on 19–20 May 2026 at the Poznań Congress Center.
To improve lung cancer detection, researchers have developed a new AI system that employs a dual approach to analyse CT scans – seeing both detail and context at the same time.
Researchers are developing a portable AI-powered scanning slit-light device, designed to make ophthalmic care more accessible, so patients can be assessed any place, and any time.
AI-enabled ambient documentation shows great promise for reducing doctors' workload – but how big is their impact on burnout prevention really? A new study reveals modest time-saving effects.
Working with “digital twins” of patients’ hearts, doctors improved cardiac ablation outcomes for patients with life-threatening arrythmias. In the first clinical trials for cardiac digital twins technology, researchers at Johns Hopkins University created digital replicas of patients’ hearts, then tested procedures on those twins before performing them on the real thing.
Fujifilm has introduced the FlexCan Cannula, a specialised device for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures, designed with enhanced flexibility and rotational performance.
"Why did the computer conclude this?": Patients increasingly scrutinize the impact of AI on medical diagnostics. A new article explores the tension between transparency and legal frameworks.
Using novel implantable neurotechnology and AI, researchers found a new way to make future leg prostheses feel and act more like a natural part of the body.
Digital solutions that integrate surgical waiting lists with GP records are helping hospitals improve perioperative pathways and reduce unnecessary appointments. Dr Simon Rang, Consultant Anaesthetist at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, explains how risk stratification is transforming patient care.
Leveraging the power of chaos theory, experts have developed a new way to encrypt medical images such as X-ray, CT and MRI scans, keeping them secure even if hospital networks are breached.
As healthcare systems worldwide accelerate digital transformation, international buyers and healthcare providers are increasingly seeking reliable partners capable of delivering innovative medical technologies, integrated digital solutions, and resilient supply chains. In recent years, Taiwan has emerged as a key hub for medical technology development and manufacturing in Asia.
Using machine learning, researchers have trained an electronic nose to detect early signs of ovarian cancer in the blood. The method could eventually be used to find many different cancers.
Sword Intelligence applies AI to triage and care coordination, reporting a 70% cut in musculoskeletal waiting lists and a fourfold boost in operational capacity.
The Pharmaceutical Automation and Digitalisation Congress (AUTOMA+) 2026 takes place in Zurich on 16-17 November and reflects companies' approach to digital transformation as a business and operational priority.
Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed an AI model to predict how well patients with hip osteoarthritis will be able to walk again after an operation.
An AI-assisted stethoscope could help doctors identify patients with valvular heart disease who may otherwise go undiagnosed. This could reduce hospital admissions and overall healthcare costs.
MIT researchers have developed a miniaturized ultrasound system that could make it easier for breast ultrasounds to be performed more often, either at home or at a doctor’s office.
