To optimize and accelerate the drug discovery process, artificial intelligence (AI) platforms are emerging that enable fast and cost-effective identification and prioritization of novel and disease-specific therapeutic targets with optimal target profiles, balancing confidence, novelty and commercial tractability. AI-streamlined target profiling has the potential to significantly improve the commercial burden of traditional drug development, and provides an unbiased approach for novel target identification. Here, we discuss the AI-assessed target profile and clinical relevance of genes recently identified by our AI-driven target discovery platform as top priority cancer targets.","PeriodicalId":154874,"journal":{"name":"Future Medicine AI","volume":"40 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140266816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper offers an overview of generative AI in medical imaging analysis, highlighting applications, challenges and case studies. It compares results with traditional methods and examines potential implications on healthcare policies.

The accuracy in delivery would leverage minute quantities of pathogens to cause mass-scale bioevents. Such hybrids (biote-bots) would increase the effectiveness of unfit but virulent pathogens, preserve the carried biota for the trip and contain bioagents' weaponization footprint to levels below the detection threshold of current regimes, while complicating immune response and denying pre-infection detection and identification. To respond, we suggest that novel diagnostics and surveillance amenities are needed, prompting cooperation of experts from Medicine, medical instruments/diagnostics, artificial Intelligence and from disciplines tackling cybernetics, remote sensing, surveying and tracking.","PeriodicalId":154874,"journal":{"name":"Future Medicine AI","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115935991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent National Health Service (NHS) guidance proposes that patients are triaged for ‘no discussion at MDT’. We examine whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical decision-support system (CDSS) can support human triage. Methods: Local best practice breast cancer MDT treatment decisions were compared with treatment decisions made by: two, two-person MDT triage teams with and without the CDSS; the CDSS acting ‘alone’; and the historical MDT. A decision tree on whether to triage patients to the CDSS or the MDT was created using supervised learning algorithms. Results: When localized, the CDSS achieved high concordance with local best practice (treatment plan decisions: 92% CDSS vs 96% team 1 vs 92% team 2, not significant [NS]; treatment type decisions: 89% CDSS vs 93% team 1 vs 82% team 2, NS). Using a decision tree 40.2% of cases can be correctly triaged to the CDSS for a treatment plan, and 34.6% for treatment type recommendations. Conclusion: AI-enabled CDSSs can potentially reduce the clinical workload for a breast cancer MDT by up to 40%. Before routine deployment they need to be appropriately localized and validated in prospective studies to evaluate clinical effectiveness and economic impact.","PeriodicalId":154874,"journal":{"name":"Future Medicine AI","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132823631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
