Refocusing Our Efforts on Advancing Technology to Help Stroke Survivors

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have shown to aid with neurological disease diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment response, and more. So what are the newest AI applications? And perhaps even more importantly, what’s to come in the future? To find out the answer to these and other key questions, Dr. Jerome Lisk speaks with Dr. Mark Mintz, Chief Medical Officer and Founder of NeurAbilities Healthcare, to discuss emerging AI tools in the field of neurology.

Let’s escape our busy day for a moment to imagine the future of gastroenterology and to ask ourselves: How can technology make us better clinicians? Explore that very question with Drs. Peter Buch and Brennan Spiegel as they discuss the latest advances in artificial intelligence and virtual reality that are aiding both clinical practice and research efforts.

What's on the horizon for the management of inflammatory bowel disease? To share some of the latest clinical trial updates, Dr. Neil Nandi is joined by Dr. Peter Higgins from the University of Michigan to explore some of the latest developments in early detection tools and treatment strategies for patients with IBD.

Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are also facing high rates of HIV and AIDS prevalence. But after the success of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, could an mRNA vaccine for HIV/AIDS be on the horizon? Here to explore emerging research and the potential role that mRNA technology might have in battling this global epidemic is Dr. Chris Beyrer, a Professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland.

Getting ahead of the next pandemic may be possible thanks to deep machine learning’s ability to predict the structure of antibodies. And while that may sound like science fiction, this technology is currently being studied, which is why Dr. Animesh Ray from the Keck Graduate Institute joins Dr. Charles Turck to provide insight on where the research currently lies and what we have to look forward to.

Sheng Xu, Professor of Nanoengineering, Bioengineering, Computer and Electrical Engineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering, meets with Dr. Alan Brown to discuss his innovative technology to change the way we predict cardiovascular risks.

Can technology play a role in assessing melanoma? Dr. Michael Greenberg discusses the use of artificial intelligence in dermatology with Dr. Sam Polesie, a specialist physician in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden.

How is technology like continuous glucose monitors impacting the way we care for patients with diabetes, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic? To learn more about the technological advancements in diabetes care, Dr. Carol Wysham speaks with Dr. Irl Hirsch, a Professor in Diabetes Treatment and Teaching Chair at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington.

Thousands of Americans live with the debilitating aftereffects of stroke, such as arm and communication problems. This makes technological developments like brain-computer interfaces absolutely critical for stroke survivors, but some questions are beginning to arise regarding the ethics of this technology. So in order for us to fully pursue this advancement, it’s important that we address those ethical concerns, as Dr. Mijail Serruya explains.

Each year, more than 75 thousand cardiac ablation procedures are performed in the United States alone. Could something straight out of a science-fiction movie like holograms help improve physician accuracy and reduce the complications typically associated with this procedure? Talk a walk on the futuristic side of medicine with Dr. Matthew Sorrentino and Dr. Jennifer Silva, who co-led a team that tested a unique headset using mixed reality technology during cardiac ablation procedures at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
