Can artificial intelligence (AI) detect and monitor empathy? Arwa Aburizik, MD, MS, clinical associate professor in Hematology, Oncology, and Blood & Marrow Transplantation, has been studying provider wellness and their empathy and attitudes toward the mental health of people with cancer. Previously, she has used self-reported measures and assessment, but now, armed with a pilot […]
Machine learning, AI distinguish between two easily mistaken cardiomyopathies
The most acute type of heart attack is the ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), requiring emergency care to clear a blocked coronary artery. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) often mimics the clinical and imaging characteristics of STEMI on presentation. Although highly specialized cardiovascular imaging can provide instant details of cardiovascular dysfunction, interpretation of the finer points […]
Using AI to predict lung disease progression
Last month, the Iowa Initiative for Artificial Intelligence (IIAI) approved six pilot grant proposals submitted by members of the Carver College of Medicine. These projects will provide subsidized and collaborative time for researchers to work with IIAI members on new ideas incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into clinical processes and patient care.
