The role of artificial intelligence in learning and professional development for healthcare professionals.
Randhawa Gurprit K et al. Healthcare management forum 2020 Jan 33(1) 19-24

This article discusses the emerging role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the learning and professional development of healthcare professionals. It provides a brief history of AI, current and past applications in healthcare education and training, and discusses why and how health leaders can revolutionize education system practices using AI in healthcare education.

Deep Green Diagnostics: Urban Green Space Analysis Using Deep Learning and Drone Images.
Moreno-Armendáriz Marco A et al. Sensors (Basel, Switzerland) 2019 Nov 19(23)

The main purpose is to provide health institutions with software capable of creating updated maps that indicate where these phenomena are presented, as this information could be very useful to guide public health goals in large cities. Our software is released as open source code, and data used for the experiments presented are also freely available.

The gene-based hack that is revolutionizing epidemiology
D Adam, Nature News, December 10, 2019

George Davey Smith, a clinical epidemiologist at the University of Bristol, UK, who helped to pioneer the technique, says: “It came about because we were getting desperate and looking for ways of getting better causal inference in epidemiology.” But, he says, there is a downside, too. “The issue is that it became very simple to do.”

Machine learning detection of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using a wearable biosensor
R Ueno et al, NPJ Digital Medicine, December 2019

Green et al. (June 24 issue)1 developed a machine learning classifier of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients using a noninvasive optical sensor incorporated in commercial smart watches. The study included 83 patients (19 patients with HCM and 64 healthy controls).

FDA oversight of NSIGHT genomic research: the need for an integrated systems approach to regulation
LV MIlko et al, NPJ Genomic Medicine December 2019

Based on the experience of the NSIGHT Consortium, we conclude that policies and practices governing the development and use of novel genomic technologies in clinical research urgently need clarification in order to mitigate potentially conflicting or redundant oversight.
