521 FDA-Approved AI-Based Medical Technologies In One Infographic  – The Medical Futurist Newsletter

Radiology is witnessing an influx of innovative concepts centered around AI-driven technology Last week's live Q&A session was all about the hype cycle of digital health technologies. If you weren't able to join us, don't worry – you can still catch up on the conversation by [rewatching the YouTube video](. On another note, you might have noticed a recent surge in doomsday AI scenarios making headlines. While it's essential to be cautious and critical about the development of artificial intelligence, there's no need to start digging our graves just yet. In fact, I'm working on a new video to explain why I remain optimistic about the future of AI in healthcare. Stay tuned! I hope you will find the newsletter useful! Best regards, Berci Bertalan Meskó, PhD The Medical Futurist [FDA-APPROVED AI-BASED MEDICAL DEVICES]( I first [started analyzing]( FDA-approved, AI-based medical technologies quite a few years ago, a while before the regulatory body first published such a database. This new infographic is based on the current list and displays the medical fields, types of submissions, and final decision dates all in one place. One interesting finding is that 510k submissions were by far the most popular. This may be due to their relative ease, but it's also worth noting that the field of radiology is currently experiencing a surge in AI-based technology ideas.

You can also check out the [full list of FDA-approved AI-based medical devices here](. [VIDEO DEMONSTRATION OF AI MAKING SENSE OF UNSTRUCTURED RECORDS]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a short video demonstrating what an AI-based system could do with unstructured medical records. These solutions will truly shine when going through hundreds or potentially, thousands of pages - and make sense of them in a blink of an eye. Just imagine this, a new patient arrives and brings their whatever-long PDF that contains different forms of medical records, hand-written notes, summaries, lab results, and more, and an algorithm structures it for you. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? We need to settle a good number of questions before these solutions enter everyday clinical practice - like: how do we make sure the algorithm will not miss or misunderstand a critical detail. Nevertheless, eventually we will get there. [INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- This course provides an overview of the current applications and potential future uses of AI in medicine & healthcare. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on projects, you will gain a clear understanding of this breakthrough technology. Just come as you are, this is not a hardcore tech course, no coding experience or technical knowledge is required. [ENROLL NOW]( [HEALTHCARE PROGRESS WITH GPT-4?]( --------------------------------------------------------------- In the past few weeks, there has been some noteworthy progress in ChatGPT, and especially in GPT-4. GPT-4 is orders of magnitude better than ChatGPT already, so it's time to discuss what it could bring to the table in medicine and healthcare and what we can expect from future iterations. [WATCH THE VIDEO]( WHY IT'S IMPORTANT? Working with such algorithms soon will become the norm and not the exception. [TOP AI ALGORITHMS IN HEALTHCARE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- As artificial intelligence tools have been invading more or less every area of healthcare, we made a list to keep track of the top AI algorithms aiming for better diagnostics, more sophisticated patient care or further sighted predictions of diseases. From algorithms spotting DNA mutations in tumors to predicting heart attacks, from sepsis watch to cancer screening these algorithms are already pulling their weights.

Embracing and integrating AI technologies into medical practice will not only benefit patients but also enhance the careers of those who are well-equipped for this new era of medicine. [APPLE MAY WANT TO USE AI TO CHANGE YOUR DIET, SLEEP ROUTINE, AND MOOD]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Bloomberg reported the tech giant's plan to create an AI-powered health coaching service (codename "Quartz"). It would use data from Apple Watch to monitor sleep patterns, exercise routines, diet, and emotions and suggest personalized lifestyle changes based on the AI's analysis. Apple also plans to develop the ability to monitor blood pressure and glucose levels directly through Apple Watches. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Both would be a great addition to digital health knowing how many people use their devices. [CHATGPT IS GIVING THERAPY. A MENTAL HEALTH REVOLUTION MAY BE NEXT]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Based on a [recent analysis I shared with you]( medical specialties with many creative tasks that are quite interaction-based will not be prone to automation. That is why it's surprising that companies are experimenting with ChatGPT in mental health treatments. "Some AI enthusiasts see chatbots as having the greatest potential in the treatment of milder, commonplace conditions such as anxiety and depression, the standard treatment of which involves a therapist listening to and validating a patient as well as offering practical steps for addressing his or her problems." [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? A working model could offer services where paid subscribers can access an AI chatbot but are also routed to a human therapist if their queries escalate.
