The health care potential for generative artificial intelligence comes with hazards such as the inadvertent effects of poor prompt engineering practices, but Anil Bhatta of Deloitte Consulting told a U.S. FDA advisory committee that this risk could be managed by rules that would thwart any consequent problems, such as an inadvertent jailbreak of the algorithm’s intended use.
Diagnosing depression and other mental illnesses is largely subjective, but that could soon change as Sydney-based Trivarx Ltd. developed an AI-based algorithm that uses heart rate and heart rate variability coupled with sleep disturbance to diagnose major depressive episodes.

A new position paper from the International Society of Hypertension pinpoints the benefits and drawbacks of novel blood pressure management technology, including the latest cuff-based and cuffless and wearable devices like BP-measuring watches and rings.
South Korean researchers developed a novel quantum dot and parallel-stacked organic light-emitting diode (QD-PSOLED)-based wearable patch capable of being “freely tunable” in real-time, and described as a flexible and commercial-level technology with wide applications for health care wearables.
For Inocras Inc., the benefits of whole genome sequencing are two-fold. First is its explicit usefulness in diagnosing and treating hard-to-treat diseases like cancer and rare diseases.
