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 blood test for ctDNA may help identify which patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy after surgery, according to new research.
Rare diseases are anything but, with half a million patients in Sweden alone. Still, diagnostic expertise is often limited among healthcare professionals. A new study explores ways to change this.
Why do patients discontinue their medication? Using large language models, researchers analysed medical records to assess the most common reasons. This could help better understand treatment pathways.
"Let's book you in": AI chatbots are generally seen as a welcome tool for managing medical screening appointments. However, too much of a good thing can backfire, a new study finds.
Many people with breast cancer can avoid chemotherapy with a gene test, potentially sparing them side effects without increasing the risk of the cancer returning, a clinical trial has found.
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.
