Generative AI models like ChatGPT and DALL-E are being applied and deployed in healthcare for medical imaging, drug discovery, personalized treatment, and clinical operations, including specific use cases such as visual snow syndrome diagnosis and molecular drug optimization.

This January 2024 IEEE Access review surveys generative AI in healthcare, describing models including ChatGPT, DALL-E, Bard, and seven healthcare-customized LLMs such as Med-PaLM, BioGPT, and DeepHealth. It catalogs applications from medical imaging and drug discovery to personalized treatment, simulation and training, clinical trial optimization, and medical chatbots, and details four real-world scenarios employing GAI: visual snow syndrome diagnosis, molecular drug optimization, medical education, and dentistry.

AI systems are being used in urology and hospital care to support image interpretation, risk stratification, clinical decision-making, documentation, and workflow optimization.

A July 2026 review in Die Urologie describes artificial intelligence moving from research into everyday clinical practice and hospital care, with generative AI and large language models now used alongside established image-analysis tools for documentation, knowledge management, patient communication, and workflow optimization, plus AI-assisted radiological and pathological interpretation and risk stratification.

Respondents reported that AI can lower municipal waste management costs and improve sorting, recycling, and collection routing.

A peer-reviewed study published October 4, 2025 examined AI for municipal waste management in Industry 4.0. Based on a 2024 online survey of 78 respondents mainly from Europe with experience or interest in AI, logistics, and ecology, authors reported that 78% saw AI reducing waste management costs, 59% saw greatest benefits in sorting and recycling, and 51% saw effectiveness in optimizing collection routes.

Federated learning allows hospitals and health systems to train shared models without centralizing patient data, supporting real-time IoT and wearable monitoring for predictive analytics and personalized care.

This peer-reviewed review from December 2024 examines federated learning as a decentralized approach for smart healthcare, where institutions collaborate on machine learning without sharing raw patient data, integrated with IoT devices, wearables, and remote monitoring for real-time predictive analytics.

AI systems in healthcare have seen limited successful deployment into clinical practice due to intrinsic machine learning limitations and implementation barriers

Researchers reviewed the state of AI in healthcare, noting rapid acceleration of research and demonstrations across medical domains but few cases where techniques have moved into routine clinical use. The article frames translation as the central issue and outlines categories of obstacles that prevent research models from reaching practice.

AI lesion detection models trained on Western or Eastern DBT data showed reduced performance when applied to the other population due to differences in lesion types.

A study tested YOLO-based AI models for breast lesion detection on digital breast tomosynthesis using a 94-patient Western database from the Cancer Imaging Archive and a 157-patient Eastern database from a single medical center, with lesions grouped into six types.

The linear LDA model showed unstable performance and poor discrimination in lymph-node-negative and pancreatic head tumor subgroups despite overall validation AUC.

In a retrospective study of 340 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients, investigators developed machine learning models combining CT radiomics and clinical predictors to predict synchronous liver metastasis preoperatively. In an independent validation cohort of 102 patients, the best linear model (LDA) reached AUC 0.828 and the nonlinear model (MLP) reached AUC 0.822, both showing good calibration with Hosmer-Lemeshow P values of 0.551 and 0.682.
