Good or bad, healthy or diseased? Drawing the line between normal tissues and those affected by pathological changes is a key challenge in healthcare. AI tools show great promise in assisting clinicians with this decision, potentially making the difference between disease-free survival, cancer remission, or lifelong disabilities. Given the high-stakes nature of this task, the development of these algorithms requires the utmost care to ensure reliable results. In this issue, we also explore the unexpected benefits of lung cancer screening, the future of implantable cardiac devices, the design of healthcare spaces and more. Enjoy reading!
