Anyone who has exchanged a few lines of dialogue with a large language model (LLM), will probably agree that generative AI is an impressive new breed of technology. Beyond their use as chatbots, LLMs show great potential in addressing some of the most urgent challenges in healthcare. At the Medica tradefair in Düsseldorf, several expert sessions were dedicated to the topic of generative AI, its potential medical applications and current caveats.

Facing high employee turnover and an aging population, nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks, but few researchers have explored how these technologies impact workers and the quality of care.
Neural implants contain integrated circuits (ICs) — commonly called chips — built on silicon. These implants need to be small and flexible to mimic circumstances inside the human body. However, the environment within the body is corrosive, which raises concerns about the durability of implantable silicon ICs.
Bracco and Aenitis combine expertise in acoustophoresis and functionalised microsystems to advance the sorting of rare and complex cells, driving innovation in biomanufacturing and advanced therapies.
Doctors around the world may soon have access to a new tool that could better predict whether individual cancer patients will benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors — a type of immunotherapy — using only routine blood tests and clinical data.
Concussions and repetitive head trauma in sports like football and boxing, once accepted as an unpleasant consequence of intense athletic competition, are now recognized as serious health threats.
The first ever investigation into the impact of the Covid pandemic on children and young people with brain tumours has revealed how investigations or treatments were frequently postponed as key people or resources were not available.
When Salmonella enters a body, in some cases it can infect cells in the intestines. Sometimes these bacteria cause serious infections, even fatal ones in rare cases. But most Salmonella infections are not serious. In fact, most people do not even realize that their mild symptoms of food poisoning are caused by Salmonella.
The Golden Jubilee University National Hospital has become the first hospital to co-design friendly and reusable theatre caps made from sustainable plant-based material as part of a research project being led by the University of Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt University.
Complex diseases could require complex biomarkers for accurate diagnosis in the years ahead, according to a leading pathologist. In a keynote address to the 36th European Congress of Pathology in Florence, Italy, Professor Manuel Salto-Tellez highlighted this as one of the major future challenges for the discipline. However, he also believes pathologists will sit at the core of modern medicine.
A study by the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems) highlights crucial findings regarding the infrequent check-ups among women with breast implants. An analysis of over 1,000 cases revealed that more than 80% of women skipped recommended annual screenings
Research investigating testing methods for gestational diabetes suggests that over half of pregnant women with the condition are not being diagnosed with the current NHS blood test process, leading to unnecessary complications for mother and baby.
A research team led by Professor Kelvin Yeung Wai-kwok from the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, School of Clinical Medicine, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has developed an innovative photocurrent-responsive implant surface to accelerate bone-to-implant integration after orthopaedic surgery.
United Imaging announces four installations of their diagnostic imaging systems at three healthcare facilities in Romania. Working closely with distributor Tehnoplus Medical, the company hopes to increase diagnostic accuracy and support better treatment outcomes.
Environmental factors such as low temperatures and carbon monoxide levels in the air have long been underestimated as risk factors for triggering a heart attack. At the Spanish Cardiology Congress (SEC24) in October in Bilbao, an expert presented new research results, which offer insights on the disease causes and put pressure on policy makers to reduce pollution and promote equal access to energy.
