Health Data Management
Interventional radiologists at the UCLA Medical Center are leveraging artificial intelligence to create a “chatbot” that automatically communicates with referring clinicians, providing them with evidence-based answers to frequently asked questions.
Currently, the AI-powered prototype is being tested by a small UCLA team of hospitalists, radiation oncologists and interventional radiologists. The machine learning application, which acts like a virtual radiology assistant, enables clinicians to rapidly access valuable information while enabling them to perform other duties and to focus on patient care.

Consumers are adopting wearables at a fast pace, with improving health as their primary motivator for buying devices, according to the 2016 Pricewaterhouse Cooper Consumer Intelligence Series that focuses on wearables. The study, which surveyed 1,000 consumers in March 2016, found that health organizations, including doctors, hospitals and health insurance companies, are the most trusted when referring wearables to their customers.

Can you recognize when someone is unwell just by studying their face? Understanding expressions can help doctors improve their diagnoses, but it’s a difficult skill to practice. So a group of engineers have made a tool for training clinicians: a robot that can express pain.
Many doctors already use robotic patient simulators in their training to practice procedures and test their diagnostic abilities. “These robots can bleed, breathe and react to medication,” says Laurel Riek at the University of California, San Diego. “They are incredible, but there is a major design flaw – their face.”

A pair of nurses at Logan Regional Hospital in Utah surrounded the bed of a newborn infant. The child, affectionately referred to as “Baby Tory” by the staff, was experiencing difficulties breathing on her own — intubation needed to be performed, and time was of the essence.
But however lifelike their young patient seemed from a distance, a closer look at the newborn revealed the truth — she was actually a remarkably human simulation, a computer program designed to look, feel and react exactly like a newborn exhibiting any medical ailment the staff programs.

The "soldier" lying in a dark corner of a University of Washington lab screams and writhes after being wounded by a roadside bomb. His right leg is blown off below the knee. Shrapnel has punctured his femoral artery and chest.
"You're not going to die," said Troy Reihsen, tying a tourniquet around the hemorrhaging leg. Working with just the light of his headlamp, Reihsen moves on to plug the femoral artery and chest wounds. He jams a needle into the soldier's chest to help him breathe.

Your watch might be able to tell you it's time to call in sick. Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health have revealed the ability of wearable biosensors, similar to the Apple Watch or Fitbit, to detect physiological changes that may indicate illness, even before symptoms appear. The findings, published in PLoS Biology, may open the door to new ways to manage and monitor health, especially for those with limited access to doctors or clinics.

In a rapidly unfolding crisis, every move is critical. When moments of extreme pressure hit, whatever you know, you know. Whatever you don't know will come back to haunt you – if you're still around when the smoke clears. Doctors, nurses and emergency response teams live this battle every day. Patients code blue, buildings go up in flames and would-be criminals pose threats to the innocent people around them.
