The European Union (EU) is steadily making progress on the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), landmark legislation that will affect AI not just for medical uses, but for all uses across the EU economy.

Hologic Inc.’s focus on women’s health is looking like a brilliant move as the company lands U.S. FDA clearance for its Genius digital diagnostics system with the Genius cervical artificial intelligence algorithm, making it the first digital cytology system with clearance, the company said.

Kakao Healthcare Corp. launched an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered mobile application called PASTA on Feb. 1 for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-based diabetes care. PASTA pairs with two types of CGM sensors, either from Seoul-based I-sens Inc.’s Caresens Air or San Diego-based Dexcom Inc.’s G7 system.

In a post-pandemic world, South Korean molecular diagnostics firm Seegene Inc. is looking to ignite a new paradigm in the diagnostics business. Seoul-based Seegene is rolling out a new strategy of open innovation under its newfound initiative coined the “SG Onesystem,” which pledges to not only accelerate global partnerships for novel diagnostics but also “free the world of all disease.”

A new study published by researchers from the Tokyo University of Science (TUS) unveiled a new machine learning-aided, non-invasive imaging framework for rapid liver lipid visualization, which could help diagnose and treat steatotic liver diseases (SLD).

The U.S. FDA’s device center has at times struggled to make the volume of hires under the reigning Medical Device User Fee Agreement (MDUFA), but that wasn’t a problem in fiscal year 2023.

A team of inventors predominantly based in the state of New York are seeking patent protection for an earbud system that integrates real-time electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring with audio playback. Using specialized silicone electrodes, it captures and interprets EEG data, serving as a passive and continuous tool for screening neurological conditions.

Researchers have reported that the predictive abilities of a machine learning algorithm trained using best practices on a large clinical dataset did not generalize beyond the data that was used to train it. The algorithm was able to predict, to a degree, which individual patients would benefit from the medication when the patients were from the dataset the algorithm was trained on. But when it was supposed to predict who would benefit in clinical cohorts that were not part of the training, it performed no better than chance.
