Artificial Intelligence Vision Software Identifies Forms Of Skin Cancer

Researchers from Stanford University have discovered an algorithm that can accurately identify skin cancer. Modifying an existing Google image recognition algorithm, the team has made and artificial intelligence system that can detect different cancers and benign lesions, drawing from a library of over 130,000 dermatology photos representing over 2,000 diseases. In its early test stage, […]

Soft Inflatable Robot Hugs Heart To Keep It Pumping

Heart failure occurs when an individual’s heart stops effectively pumping blood, resulting in the organ shutting down. Approximately 5.7 million Americans suffer from heart failure, and with no cure, it costs the nation approximately $32 billion annually. A research team at Harvard University designed a soft, air-powered robot that hugs the heart to help keep […]
