How Google created a deep learning algorithm to detect diabetic retinopathy and applied it in rural India to combat blindness.
Wearables and AI sound good and they look good. They also probably work well and help us tremendously. But what about the patients?
How organizing a competition and involving the public improves the development of AI algorithms.
Proper pain management is an important part of every injury and disease. We're pretty successful at this, but VR can give us a much-needed edge.
Where healthcare is less accessible, which accounts to about a half of the world's population. Drone networks can definitely help.
AI is the technology that will likely re-shape healthcare in the coming years. That doesn't mean it's perfect. Here are some potential problems.
It's the latest buzzword. But where is its place in healthcare?
Healthcare apps should be more focused on privacy. And we should use them only if they are.
How AI algorithms work, saying no to monopolies, a solution for childhood obesity and a surgery during a wedding.
A Lithuanian company received regulatory clearance for ChestLink. A reasonable step by the EU!
Doing the same thing over and over again becomes a little dull. Mixing things up a little is a win-win for both you and me.
AR and VR have tremendous potential in surgery and it's perhaps developing quicker than any other field in medicine.
Many argue scientific publishing is broken. Among many ideas to improve it with "traditional" methods, blockchain also has its place.
Web3 is the revolution we've been waiting for. But owning all of your data is also exciting for healthcare, not just creators.
5G technology is on the rise. While it offers fast internet connectivity, it solves many more other problems. Including in healthcare.
Blockchain
With the emergence of NFTs and ideas of a Web3, cryptocurrencies - blockchain is experiencing a major boost. The hype is always there in the tech world, but few are connecting it to medicine.
Artificial Intelligence
Supporters want to implement it as fast as possible, those scared of it want to postpone it as long as possible. But one party is left out of the conversation - the patient.
Solutions
Precision medicine is where healthcare is developing. Pharmaceutical companies are already developing medication tailored for individuals. Where's the place for digital health?
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence might unleash the real art of medicine. This is how it's boosting medical imaging, diagnosing and procedures to allow healthcare staff to do what they're trained for - caring for patients.
Solutions
Digital therapeutics (apps) are becoming popular. Countries are including them in their health insurance plans. Are they even useful, and what's there to consider?
Solutions
Mental health isn't left behind in digital health. The latest proof is Apple reportedly developing a way to detect mental health issues with iPhones. Sometimes though, their devices might also be the problem.
Artificial Intelligence
There's a growing number of patients with tuberculosis and the number of radiologists for its diagnosis isn't following. We will soon need AI for triaging and screening, especially in countries with lower socio-economic status.
General
Blood testing is arguably the centrepiece of diagnostics in medicine. But a few years ago a scandal shook up the field, which still has consequences. The challenge now is to get over it but work towards its idea.
Artificial Intelligence
Diabetes is quickly becoming an epidemic. If we don't act preventively the burden on healthcare will be too big. One of the solutions is to use digital technology in managing it.
Solutions
Big tech started entering healthcare as the companies realised it presents an opportunity for new products and profit. But one of the threats may be their monopolies.
Solutions
The tech world is obsessed with digital nomads. This is a little more difficult to achieve in healthcare. But still, there are options.
Artificial Intelligence
We can often read and hear AI will have the greatest impact on radiology. That radiologists will even be replaced with AI. These were my thoughts exactly, until I dug a little deeper with this article.
General
Google recently introduced a healthcare dashboard for better data visualisation. Apple is researching hearing loss. Litmaps is wonderful for researchers and medical education might change.

The other day I was browsing what to watch on Netflix and had a thought. I think Netflix might become a new digital channel for “conveying” health.
Artificial Intelligence
Decision support systems have been around for a long time. But not coupled with AI. A team of researchers is proposing guidelines to make DSS with AI better.
Solutions
It seems like we’re collecting and analysing data on every step of our way. The biggest opportunity for public health screening programs lies in wide-spread data collection and analysis.
