AI could cut doctors' paperwork burden as global health worker shortage looms

Artificial intelligence could help ease the pressure on doctors by taking over some of the repetitive paperwork and administrative tasks that take up valuable time, as healthcare systems around the world face a growing shortage of workers, according to a report by QuickBlox. The report highlighted a widening gap between the number of healthcare workers available and the demand for care. The World Health Organization has also warned that the world could face a shortage of 10 million health workers by 2030, with the problem expected to be particularly serious in regions where healthcare systems are already under pressure. Against this backdrop, the report mentioned that technology can help existing healthcare staff handle more patients by reducing some of the work that does not require th...

Man travels from Jabalpur to Mumbai to get treated without open brain surgery

A team of hybrid Mumbai doctors have successfully treated an elderly man from abalpur who was suffering from a large subdural hematoma (SDH), a condition in which blood collects between the brain and its outer covering due to bleeding. The man, who was taking blood-thinning medication for an existing heart condition, was advised conventional open brain surgery because of the size of the bleed and mass effect. However, as he was unwilling to undergo open surgery, the team successfully treated him using an advanced minimally invasive Middle Meningeal Artery (MMA) embolisation, allowing him to recover without opening the skull. On follow-up, the man is doing well and has resumed his clinic and is treating patients like before. The 67-year-old practicing doctor had dedicated his life to cari...

Saliva, swab can help early detection of oral cancer: IIT Indore researchers

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Indore claimed to have developed a non-invasive technique that can detect early signs of oral cancer using only saliva and a swab sample from the inner surface of the mouth. The researchers plan to validate the findings in larger and more diverse groups of patients, and then develop targeted, easy-to-use tests that can be brought into routine clinical practice, officials said on Thursday. The technology's key strengths are that it is point-of-care, economical, quick, and non-invasive - qualities that matter greatly in a country where access to specialist cancer diagnostics is still limited outside big cities, according to the researchers. At present, doctors confirm oral cancer through a biopsy, which involves removing a tissue sam...

Microsoft Is Combining Its Two ‘Copilot’ Apps (and Ditching These Three Features)

Microsoft Copilot is a little messy. Unlike ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude, the company's AI service isn't one universal product. Instead, there's "Copilot," the AI for consumers, directly competing with the aforementioned AI apps; and "Microsoft 365 Copilot," the AI for professional use in Microsoft's work suite. Unless you're totally immersed in Microsoft's AI culture, you might be understandably confused about Copilot, and what features and plans belong to which version of the AI. Luckily, you don't need to be confused any longer. This week, Microsoft announced its intentions to merge its Copilot and Microsoft Copilot 365 platforms into a single app. If you use Copilot as you would ChatGPT or Gemini, you'll use this app. If you use Copilot with Word and Excel for work or school, you'll use ...
