Tech Talk: Emory launches Empathetic AI for Health Institute-10214

Tech Talk: Emory launches Empathetic AI for Health Institute

Emory University has embarked on an initiative that aims to unite the power of machine learning and big data to transform the ways in which healthcare systems prevent, diagnose, treat and cure diseases on a global scale. Launching this month under the umbrella of Emory's AI. Humanity initiative, the Emory Empathetic AI for Health Institute will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and computing power to discern patterns in vast amounts of data and make predictions that improve patient health outcomes in diseases such as lung, prostate and breast cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. This kind of initiative has implications for senior living, assisted living, and dementia care. It also offers another opportunity for collaboration, now in the Atlanta, Georgia area, and then in other regions.

Chat GPT has potential to increase access, efficiency in healthcare

Investigators from Mass General Brigham, Boston, Massachusetts, have found that ChatGPT was about 72% accurate in overall clinical decision making, from coming up with possible diagnoses to making final diagnoses and care management decisions. The large-language model (LLM) artificial intelligence chatbot performed equally well in both primary care and emergency settings across all medical specialties. The findings have implications for assisted living and life plan communities.
