Abbott Laboratories received U.S. FDA approval for its molecular human papillomavirus (HPV) screening test, expanding the company’s cancer screening tools. The new member of the Alinity M family of diagnostic assays can be used for screening, as recommended by current guidelines, as well as diagnosis and provide detailed information on the potentially cancer-causing genotypes of the virus.
Sibionics Technology Co. Ltd. said it received the CE mark for its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, coined the Sibionics GS1 CGM, helping the company expand its market opportunities beyond China.
Quibim SL and Royal Philips NV have teamed up to utilize their artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled solutions to help clinicians deliver faster diagnosis and treatment of patients with prostate cancer. The partnership will see Philips AI-based magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technology integrated into Quibim’s AI based QP-Prostate software, to automate real-time prostate gland segmentation in MR images, and generate meaningful quantitative insights, as well as standardize MRI prostate exam reporting.
The U.S. FDA’s draft rulemaking for regulation of lab-developed tests (LDTs) came with a conspicuously short comment period of 60 days, but the agency is unresponsive to requests to add another 30 days to the comment period.
As more and more artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions get developed to improve patient care, humans should ultimately remain in control because no AI system will be free from mistakes, said Ha Hong, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer in Medtronic plc’s Endoscopy unit. “There will be some errors, it is simply not possible to create a system that is 100% error free,” he told BioWorld in an interview.
South Korean researchers from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) have penned a “groundbreaking” adversarial task adaptive pretraining (A-TAPT) model that could improve the accuracy of analyzing vocal cord vibrations for medical conditions.
Cognito Therapeutics Inc. is seeking patent protection for methods for measuring parameters, particularly gamma waveforms, of neurological disorders including neurodevelopmental disorders, psychiatric disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Ventric Health Inc. received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for its Vivio system, a mobile, non-invasive medical device that can aid in the diagnosis of heart failure. With early diagnosis crucial for treating and managing the condition, Vivio uses advanced algorithms to detect elevated left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in less than five minutes and can therefore improve clinical and health outcomes.
Vuno Inc. gained a U.S. FDA’s 510(k) clearance for its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered brain quantification device, Vuno Med-Deepbrain, to diagnose possible dementia in patients “even before mild cognitive impairment.”
