FaceAge, a face-reading AI tool that estimates biological age from facial photographs, predicts cancer outcomes with an impressive 81% accuracy rate. This surpasses traditional methods and outperforms doctors in survival assessments. Developed by researchers at Mass General Brigham, FaceAge shows early promise in predicting short-term life expectancy. The findings suggest the AI tool can identify high-risk patients and provide a low-cost, accessible way to inform care decisions, enhancing clinical decision-making. This improvement was observed across multiple cancer types and stages, with FaceAge delivering a reliable prognostic signal, offering doctors more objective and precise survival estimates. FaceAge has drawn a mix of cautious optimism and concern from medical experts. Irbaz Riaz, assistant professor of medicine and artificial intelligence consultant at Mayo Clinic, called it “a promising early-stage tool.” Hugo Aerts, director of the AI in Medicine program at Mass General Brigham and a lead researcher on the tool, acknowledged its potential benefits but warned it could also cause harm if misused. He stressed that hospitals have strict rules and oversight to ensure AI is used properly and only to benefit patients, not insurers or other parties. -- Researchers say more studies are needed before FaceAge can be routinely used in clinical settings. Their goal is to turn it into an early detection system for various health issues, supported by strong ethical and regulatory standards.

There have been extensive evaluations of artificial intelligence (AI) systems for narrow medical tasks, but more work is needed to systematically evaluate and deploy AI systems that can perform a broad range of medical tasks. The medical training process itself might offer a template for addressing this challenge. Clinicians undergo rigorous education and training, progressing through stages of increasing responsibility and autonomy. Similarly, generalist medical AI systems could be subjected to a phased certification model before they are granted greater autonomy in patient care.

The governance of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in medicine
Richard Platt's curator insight,
May 27, 12:48 PM
The governance of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in medicine has become a major topic of discussion due to concerns about their rapid development and use, which have outpaced existing regulatory measures. 1 Findings from a recent large-scale survey underscore the urgency of renewed oversight, revealing that one in five (20%) of the UK-based general practitioners surveyed use large language model (LLM) chatbots for clinical tasks. 2 Although much attention has been focused on popular and widely available LLM-based chatbots, such as ChatGPT (OpenAI and Microsoft), addressing unresolved challenges related to privacy, bias, accuracy, and accountability requires a standardised framework that goes beyond the regulation of chatbots as conversational tools and considers the wider AI capabilities for data generation.

Existing reviews have identified factors influencing Clinical Decision Support (CDS) adoption by clinicians in practice but overlook the dynamic and evolving nature of technology and users’ needs over time. This review aimed to identify factors that influence early, mid-term, and sustained acceptance and use of CDS in hospital settings. Five databases were searched from 2007 to January 2024 and 67 papers were included. Factors were extracted and synthesised according to the time that data were collected following CDS implementation. Factors relating to the CDS intervention (e.g. utility) and inner setting (e.g. fit with workflows) were reported across all time periods. Perceived outcomes were more often identified in the first year of use, and individual factors after the first 6 months of use. Strategies to work around CDS limitations were reported 5 years after implementation. Our review provides guidance for developing, implementing, and supporting ongoing use of CDS systems.

Alors que l’on célèbre cette année les 80 ans de la Sécurité sociale, les inquiétudes sur la soutenabilité de notre système de soins se multiplient. Le déficit de la branche maladie atteint un niveau record hors crise sanitaire, alors qu’un mur démographique et épidémiologique se profile à l’horizon. Les solutions purement comptables et les facilités de court terme ne permettront ni de résoudre l’équation financière ni de relever les défis qui se présentent. Un autre modèle est à inventer. Selon Nicolas Revel, il doit se construire autour d’une nouvelle organisation du suivi des pathologies chroniques et faire le pari de la qualité des soins comme vecteur essentiel d’attractivité pour les soignants et de maîtrise des dépenses de santé.
