Researchers at the University of Michigan are using artificial intelligence to predict the health consequences that sport-related concussions might have on student athletes over the course of their college athletic careers. 

MIT researchers developed an interactive, AI-based system that enables users to rapidly annotate areas of interest in new biomedical imaging datasets, without training a machine-learning model in advance. As the user uploads new images, the number of interactions needed to accurately segment the image drops, eventually to zero, enabling rapid annotation of the entire dataset.

The initial hospital treatment of firearm injuries cost the U.S. health care system an estimated $7.7 billion between 2016 and 2021, with the largest share falling on urban trauma center hospitals that serve the highest proportion of Medicaid patients, reports a new study led by Northwestern Medicine.

Stroke patients evaluated using telemedicine (telestroke) have higher odds of receiving essential treatment, yet it takes them significantly longer to be treated — potentially limiting the benefits, a study finds. Telestroke patients had 44% lower odds of being successfully treated within 60 minutes of getting to the hospital.
