In a 20-question TB Q&A test generating 100 responses, GPT-5 produced the most suitable patient-education texts as measured by C-PEMAT-P among five LLMs.

From October 5 to 11, 2025, researchers tested five large language models on 20 pulmonary tuberculosis questions spanning five themes, generating 100 responses and rating them with C-PEMAT-P, GQS, and seven readability measures. GPT-5 ranked highest on C-PEMAT-P followed by Doubao, GQS was similar across models, and models differed significantly on several readability indices.

Secure federated learning allows organizations to build data networks and share knowledge without compromising user privacy.

In a January 2019 peer-reviewed survey, researchers described two persistent barriers for AI: data siloed as isolated islands and tightening privacy and security requirements. They proposed a comprehensive secure federated-learning framework that includes horizontal, vertical, and transfer variants, and surveyed existing work on definitions, architectures, and applications.

A three-track neural network that jointly processes sequence, distance, and coordinate information enables accurate prediction of protein structures and protein-protein complexes, approaching DeepMind's accuracy.

In work published August 20, 2021, researchers built on the CASP14-era DeepMind approach to protein folding. They developed RoseTTAFold, a three-track network that processes sequence, distance, and coordinate information simultaneously, achieving accuracies approaching those of DeepMind.

Deep learning OCT models trained on a single dataset often degrade across scanners and sites due to device-dependent speckle variability, limiting reliability in real-world screening.

Researchers developed NA-DyCNN, a lightweight noise-aware dynamic convolutional network for OCT-based retinal disease classification that explicitly models post-acquisition speckle variability during training to improve cross-scanner robustness.

Most AI-ECG studies in pediatric and congenital heart disease remain retrospective and single-center with limited external validation, facing challenges from small datasets and age-dependent ECG variation.

This review from August 2026 summarizes how artificial intelligence applied to standard electrocardiograms has been tested in pediatric and congenital heart disease. It reports that deep learning models have been shown to identify arrhythmias, ventricular dysfunction, and CHD, and are being extended to predict future risk and to analyze wearable and telemetry data.

AI-enabled medical devices create dynamic, data-dependent hazards that current ISO 14971, AAMI CR34971 and EU AI Act approaches address only in fragmented form, leaving gaps in hazard linkage, control adequacy, and lifecycle monitoring.

A peer-reviewed review published August 13, 2026 examined how AI-enabled medical devices challenge traditional safety-risk management. Drawing on 19 academic and regulatory sources, it found ISO 14971, AAMI CR34971 and the EU AI Act each cover parts of device safety and algorithmic governance but remain fragmented in practice.

Prompt-engineered simplification performed significantly worse for completeness and harmfulness in specific diagnoses and provided generic education disconnected from pathological findings.

A peer-reviewed survey study from January to April 2025 asked 52 US dermatology and dermatopathology professionals to rate AI-simplified versions of six fictitious dermatopathology reports. One version used Basic ChatGPT-4.0 with a simple prompt and the other used a custom DermDecoder GPT with a structured 489-word prompt, evaluated for factualness, completeness, and potential harm.
