AI-driven claims review at major insurers has denied hundreds of thousands of claims in seconds, with appealed denials reversed roughly 90 percent of the time. Here is how the technology
AI couples therapy apps are advising millions of partners, some built directly on Gottman Institute research. Here is what the evidence says these tools can do, and where a licensed
AI prosthetic limbs are moving from research labs into real clinics, restoring natural movement and even touch. Here is what works today, what does not, and who is still being
AI elderly care technology is projected to hit $2.25B by 2030, with fall detection over 90% accurate. But loneliness reduction evidence is thin, and the substitution risk deserves more scrutiny
MIT's VaxSeer uses AI flu vaccine prediction to outperform WHO's own strain choices over the past decade. Here's how the model works, and why it could reshape how the world
Psychiatrists across the US, UK, and Australia are reporting a new pattern: patients with psychosis-like symptoms triggered or intensified by AI chatbot use. Here's what the emerging research shows about
AI therapy chatbots reduce depression symptoms, but Stanford research finds significant safety gaps, including failures to respond appropriately when users are at risk. Here's what the evidence actually shows.
Nearly one third of patients now use generative AI to find doctors, filtering by location, specialty, and insurance coverage. But trust remains a hurdle: here's what the research shows about
From ChatGPT as an emotional translator to a robot named Pepper in a New Jersey care home, AI is quietly becoming part of how autistic adults communicate. Here's what the
A Dartmouth team taught AI to translate a nearly extinct script from just 35 sentences. See how AI preserving lost languages actually works, and where mainstream tools still get it
The largest randomized clinical trial of a VR exposure system for PTSD found it matched or beat the gold-standard talk-based treatment, especially for patients with co-occurring depression. A separate, much-discussed
AI memory tools range from clinically validated cognitive support for dementia patients to contested lifelogging and digital afterlife applications. Stuart Kerr examines the augmentation versus replacement distinction, and what responsible
AI-generated models are displacing commercial fashion photography bookings at scale — raising urgent questions about labour, diversity, likeness rights, and whether the economics of modelling can survive the algorithm.
AI pet wearables can now detect physiological distress in dogs before symptoms show, but the marketing claim that a collar can "translate" a bark is running ahead of the science.
Brain-computer interfaces restored speech to a woman silent for 18 years and let a paralyzed patient walk again. Here's where Neuralink, Synchron, and neural privacy law actually stand.
ECRI just named AI diagnostics the top patient safety concern for 2026. Here's what the sensitivity data, the liability gap, and 1,200 physicians surveyed actually show about trusting the algorithm.
AI depression detection outperformed the standard PHQ-9 clinical questionnaire in a 2024 study, with 80%+ sensitivity and specificity. Here's the science, the privacy risks, and why detection alone isn't enough.
AI wellness tools range from clinically validated CBT apps to sleep trackers with mixed accuracy. Here's what the actual evidence supports for mental health and productivity, versus what's just marketing.
