Scientists from National Taiwan University and St. Paul’s Hospital have demonstrated how AI can leverage routine chest X-rays to detect asymptomatic bone loss, closing critical gaps in screening healthy Asian populations.

• AI models can support doctors in making critical decisions and expand access to care in low-resource settings • However, gaps in infrastructure, skills and governance continue to limit safe and effective adoption • Researchers call for an international consortium to guide regulation and responsible use of AI in healthcare

Scientists found three language-model chatbots — even with advanced prompt‐engineering tricks — often give suboptimal guidance across stroke prevention, diagnosis, treatment and recovery, highlighting the need for human oversight to ensure appropriateness and safety.

Meta-analysis of medical research with LLMs reveals diagnostic accuracy

Glaucoma is called the “silent thief of sight” as many don’t notice until significant, irreversible vision loss has already occurred. A revolutionary early screening tool using AI may stop this thief dead in its tracks.

New perspective argues pursuing fair AI for healthcare requires cross-disciplinary collaboration to translate methods into real-world benefits.
