A machine learning model using bedside fNIRS functional connectivity during audio movie clips predicted 6-month functional outcome in ICU patients with acute brain injury with 81.3% balanced accuracy, outperforming clinical models.

In a prospective cohort of 33 ICU patients with acute brain injury, investigators tested whether bedside functional near-infrared spectroscopy during passive audio movie listening could support early prognostication. Using functional connectivity features to train a machine learning model, they classified 6-month functional outcome defined by Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended.

AI-driven diabetic retinopathy screening using ultra-widefield fundus images achieved a summary sensitivity of 85.0% and AUC of 0.870 in meta-analysis.

A systematic review and meta-analysis to February 9, 2025, evaluated artificial intelligence for diabetic retinopathy assessment using ultra-widefield color fundus images, which capture a larger retinal area without pupil dilation. Of 527 records, 17 studies were reviewed and four were meta-analyzed, all using Optos software, to estimate sensitivity and specificity for AI-driven screening.

A fine-tuned MobileNetV2 model differentiated vitiligo from postinflammatory hypopigmentation with 94.88% accuracy and 0.9885 AUC while providing clinically meaningful ensemble explanations.

A diagnostic accuracy study published July 24, 2026 developed an interpretable deep learning framework to distinguish vitiligo from postinflammatory hypopigmentation, two conditions with similar depigmented lesions. Using 332 clinical images from King Abdullah University Hospital and public sources, a fine-tuned MobileNetV2 was evaluated with patient-wise 5-fold cross-validation.

DynStabNet E(3)-equivariant graph neural network predicts dynamical stability of semiconductor crystal candidates without explicit phonon calculations at inference, achieving 97% accuracy and cutting per-structure evaluation from hours to ~1 ms to accelerate large-scale screening.

Researchers developed DynStabNet, an E(3)-equivariant graph neural network that learns to predict whether crystal structures are dynamically stable from phonon-informed training data, avoiding explicit phonon calculations at inference. As of the July 2026 publication, the model was reported to reach 97% accuracy while reducing evaluation time per structure from several hours to about 1 ms.

Widespread use of ChatGPT and other generative AI has raised potential ethical issues in high-stakes health care applications, but ethical discussions have not yet been translated into operationalisable solutions.

Published September 17, 2024, this scoping review in The Lancet Digital Health examined ethical discussions surrounding generative AI in health care, including ChatGPT and other models used to synthesise data such as images for research and practical purposes. The authors found that ethical concerns have been widely noted but not translated into operational solutions.
