New AI technique can uncover antiviral compounds using limited data

University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Artificial intelligence algorithms have now been combined with traditional laboratory methods to uncover promising drug leads against human enterovirus 71 (EV71), the pathogen behind most cases of hand, foot and mouth disease. The study, published today in Cell Reports Physical Science by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, showed that reliable antiviral predictions can be made even when only a modest amount of experimental data are available.

Implementing a digital cognitive screening tool and flexible workflow helps primary care clinics integrate dementia screening

American Academy of Family Physicians
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A previous study across seven primary care clinics found that many older adults who completed a digital cognitive assessment showed possible signs of cognitive impairment. In this companion study, researchers assessed how agile implementation, an approach based on iterative improvements and tailored clinic workflows, could support the integration of digital cognitive assessment screening into routine care for patients aged 65 and older.
