On the other hand, two studies in the Annals of Internal Medicine -- one large randomized controlled trial, and one systematic review and meta-analysis -- showed that incorporating AI computer-aided detection systems (CADe) into colonoscopy doesn't improve rates of advanced neoplasia detection.

ChatGPT also failed to impress when it was prompted to recommend treatment regimens for cancer patients based on National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. About a third of the AI chatbot's responses did not fully align with the guidelines, according to a research letter in JAMA Oncology.

HCA Healthcare will collaborate with Google Cloud to use generative AI technology to take on for physicians and nurses, including clinical documentation.

Abridge, a leader in generative AI for clinical documentation, will partner with Epic to implement a at Emory Health in Georgia.

FDA granted a "De Novo" approval to Viz.ai for its new AI algorithm, the Viz HCM Module, for . The company said the approval creates a "new regulatory category" for cardiovascular AI programs.
