8 Real-world Examples Of AI In Healthcare – This And More News In Digital Health This Week
Bertalan Meskó, MD, PhD
Director of The Medical Futurist Institute (Keynote Speaker, Researcher, Author & Futurist)
The FDA finally released guidance providing recommendations on what information should be included in a predetermined change control plan tailored to marketing AI-enabled medical devices.
On a personal note, I've recently surpassed 5,000 scientific citations according to Google Scholar. When I finished PhD in clinical genomics and decided to switch tracks to the future of medicine and healthcare, a niche field back then, it was quite the risk.
Fast forward 15 years, and I'm now working on launching our own medical journal in medical futures studies. It's been quite a journey, and if you take a look at the bar chart showing the number of citations per year, you'll notice a significant increase in citations since the pandemic. This surge indicates a growing interest among researchers in digital health, AI, and the future of healthcare and medicine. It's incredibly rewarding to see the increased focus on this field.
I hope you will find the newsletter useful!
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO IN HEALTHCARE IN 8 EXAMPLES
With the ongoing buzz around AI’s potential in healthcare, it can be challenging to identify its current uses.
We share a collection of 8 examples where the technology already exists in practice.
CLINICAL VALIDATION OF A WEARABLE ULTRASOUND SENSOR OF BLOOD PRESSURE
Here is a new wearable ultrasound sensor for continuous, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring! Since testing a PPG-based blood pressure monitor, I've been convinced that the future belongs to such technologies and not to cuff-based or invasive approaches.
A SHORT GUIDE TO GENERATIVE AI IN HEALTHCARE
A practical, fast-track course about how generative artificial intelligence could contribute to the practice of medicine and the delivery of healthcare.
HOW THE LATEST SENSORS ANALYSE BODY FLUIDS
Researchers published an overview about how the latest sensors analyse body fluids! Using a smartwatch to measure pulse is simple, but collect and analyze biochemical data from samples of body fluids such as blood and urine is complicated, painful, time-consuming and often expensive.
They discussed devices that analyze sweat, tears, breath, wound fluid, saliva and urine.

FDA ISSUES GUIDANCE ON PREDETERMINED CHANGE CONTROL PLAN FOR AI-ENABLED DEVICE SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS
While every medical event and social media post is full of AI marketing claims these days, it was time for at least the FDA to step up. Now they released guidance providing recommendations on what information should be included in a predetermined change control plan tailored to marketing AI-enabled medical devices.
The guidance may set a precedent for other regulatory bodies worldwide; and manufacturers will feel encouraged to invest in adaptive AI systems, knowing that a structured process exists to regulate continuous evolution without needing repeated full marketing submissions.
OURA’S SMART RINGS CAN NOW TELL WHEN YOU’RE GETTING SICK
Symptom Radar will flag when the Oura Ring detects signs you may be coming down with respiratory illness. Great effort from ŌURA .
"Essentially, Symptom Radar works by evaluating metrics like resting heart rate, heart rate variability, temperature trends, and breathing rate to detect significant changes from your long-term baselines. When users sync their data in the morning, they’ll be notified if no signs, minor signs, or major signs of strain related to respiratory symptoms have been identified. In the case of minor or major signs, the Oura app will encourage users to turn on Rest Mode and take steps to prioritize rest."
