Generative AI Simplifies Echocardiogram Results
A study by clinicians at NYU Langone Health found that a GPT4-based system (the technology behind ChatGPT) can be used to explain echocardiogram (echo) results to patients. The system analyzes doctor-written reports on a common type of echo test and generates human-friendly explanations of test results. There are many implications of this study including the reduction of clinician workload and fast and accurate explanation of test results to patients. JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging
Gen AI Engineers New Antibiotics
Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have leveraged a Generative AI model to develop a new antibiotic based on an existing antibiotic called Protegrin-1, which is toxic to humans. This new antibiotic is already showing promise in preclinical trials. The model creates potent antimicrobial peptides that have reduced toxicity to mammalian membranes. Potential applications include designing new synthetic classes of…
