美國高中生團隊開發出一款可以篩檢糖尿病視網膜病變的手機app;初步臨床測試針對五組擁有該疾病的病患進行檢測,五組病患都能準確的篩檢出來;該系統的運作方式是透過手機照相來取得視網膜影像,以3D列印的鏡片聚焦燈光,讓視網膜的成像更清楚;拍攝後的影像再透過手機app內的AI演算法來進行辨識及診斷。(IEEE Spectrum)

A smartphone app called Eyeagnosis developed by high school team shows early success to screen for diabetic retinopathy. By fitting a 3D-printed lens onto a smartphone, the phone’s flash can be focused to best illuminate a retina and the disease can be diagnosed by analyzing the image with the help of AI.


MIT的研究團隊發表了一種不需要在患者身上安裝感測器,僅需透過無線電頻率及AI演算法來分析睡眠行為的方法,且收集到的數據精確度高達80%;新監測方法的主要優點是拿掉了腦波感測器,病患的正常睡眠行為不會受到干擾;未來病患在自己家中也可以進行睡眠監測,對醫師及病患來說都更方便了。(Engadget)

80% of accuracy reported by researchers at MIT using radio frequencies and AI algorithms as a new method to analyze sleep stages without physical sensors; New method allows same data collection without disturbing patient’s behavior; Facilitates Home-based monitoring for patients and doctors in the near future.


創始於矽谷的移動醫療新創公司Quanovate推出家用備孕產品,首期產品已開發完成,預計下半年在美國進行線上眾籌。備孕女性利用檢測試紙及掌上檢測儀器量測賀爾蒙指標並透過藍芽傳輸將數據回傳手機app後,系統即會透過內建的AI演算法預測最佳的備孕時機。(36Kr)
