From managing appointments to admittance and coordination of treatments to billing – patient management is a complex field in which everything revolves around the patient. Keep reading for the latest developments and application examples.
A new clinical trial has identified new opportunities to improve recovery for intensive care survivors through remote rehabilitation delivered in patients’ homes.
For a young adult, a cancer diagnosis hits different: a more aggressive disease course, greater disruptive potential, longer survivorship. Yet most healthcare institutions seem poorly prepared for this growing patient group. A plenary session at the NCCN 2026 Annual Conference examined a striking shift in modern oncology: the rising incidence of cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYA).
The chances of breast cancer recurring remain very low when patients are treated with radiotherapy that is tailored to their individual risk following chemotherapy and surgery, new study results find.
Fear that their cancer will progress or worsen is one of the most common concerns among people living with this disease. A new tool aims to reliably measure patients’ anxiety about their cancer.
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.
Diagnostic imaging without actual images, but with sleek and shiny scanners; no more radiology and pathology departments, but virtual patient models and AI-enhanced surgical precision: At this year's European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, two leading experts envisioned 2050 as a radically different future of medicine – less Grey's Anatomy, more Star Trek. They made it clear…
The get up patient transfer aid from febromed addresses the challenge of musculoskeletal complaints in radiology professionals by supporting patients during standing up, repositioning and transfer.
“A small handle with a big impact.” Radiographers at Rheinland Klinikum Neuss in Germany report measurable physical relief in daily patient transfers thanks to the ceiling-mounted patient transfer aid febromed get up®.
Sword Intelligence applies AI to triage and care coordination, reporting a 70% cut in musculoskeletal waiting lists and a fourfold boost in operational capacity.
Transgender patients are largely invisible in breast cancer screening statistics – and many never receive an invitation to participate in screening programmes. Guidelines exist, but awareness among referring physicians remains low. Experts say radiology departments are best positioned to lead the change by creating inclusive environments and actively reaching out to this underserved population.…
Integrating the patient’s voice: A new study shows access to patient-reported outcome (PRO) data improves the consistency of the evaluation of treatment-related side effects in patients with cancer.
☺️💊📞: Emojis are increasingly used in patient communication, a new study finds. This can help build trust and emphasize critical information, but may also lead to misunderstanding.
Mobile Stroke Units, equipped with a CT scanner, point-of-care laboratory, and communications capabilities, could reduce unnecessary emergency department transfers by 86%, a new study finds.
Despite significant advances in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, a new Danish study shows that social inequities in survival have remained virtually unchanged over the past 20 years.
Breast cancer screening for women under 50 isn't cost-effective – yet 1 in 5 diagnoses occurs in this age group. A new study suggests a personalised approach that could change this equation.
Breast imaging for male and transgender patients remains an under-researched field with significant gaps in guidelines and clinical practice. At the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) annual scientific meeting, experts presented findings from a pan-European survey on male breast imaging and announced plans for a similar initiative focusing on transgender patients.
Many women over 50 schedule mammograms for breast cancer but miss out on CT lung cancer screenings they're also eligible for. Targeted outreach coul help change this, a new study shows.
People with diabetes face a higher risk of sudden cardiac death, a new study finds. Alarmingly, the increase in risk is especially noticeable among younger adults.
Should women be told about their high breast density as part of mammography screening? While this may sound like an obvious choice, a new study warns of unintended effects.
