District-wide implementation of an AI-enabled wound app with virtual command centre produced high patient satisfaction and perceived benefit, including improved communication and self-management confidence among app users.

Between January 2024 and January 2026, a health district in Australia implemented a digital wound model of care combining an AI-enabled app with a virtual command centre across four hospitals and five community health centres. A post-implementation evaluation surveyed and interviewed 94 patients, 75 frontline clinicians, 9 senior wound nurses and a product manager, reviewing governance minutes to assess acceptability and perceived benefit.

Logistic regression screening model using routine indicators like total protein and hemoglobin achieved AUC 0.843 and provides an accessible tool for early identification of individuals at high risk of M-protein in resource-limited primary care.

Researchers developed and validated an M-protein screening model using routine laboratory indicators from 5217 participants across three Chinese hospitals. They compared eight machine learning algorithms and selected a logistic regression model incorporating sex, age, total protein, albumin, albumin/globulin ratio, and hemoglobin, achieving an AUC of 0.843 in training and 0.843, 0.801, and 0.800 in internal and two external validations with a five-tier risk stratification.

Generative AI models like ChatGPT and DALL-E are being applied and deployed in healthcare for medical imaging, drug discovery, personalized treatment, and clinical operations, including specific use cases such as visual snow syndrome diagnosis and molecular drug optimization.

This January 2024 IEEE Access review surveys generative AI in healthcare, describing models including ChatGPT, DALL-E, Bard, and seven healthcare-customized LLMs such as Med-PaLM, BioGPT, and DeepHealth. It catalogs applications from medical imaging and drug discovery to personalized treatment, simulation and training, clinical trial optimization, and medical chatbots, and details four real-world scenarios employing GAI: visual snow syndrome diagnosis, molecular drug optimization, medical education, and dentistry.

AI systems are being used in urology and hospital care to support image interpretation, risk stratification, clinical decision-making, documentation, and workflow optimization.

A July 2026 review in Die Urologie describes artificial intelligence moving from research into everyday clinical practice and hospital care, with generative AI and large language models now used alongside established image-analysis tools for documentation, knowledge management, patient communication, and workflow optimization, plus AI-assisted radiological and pathological interpretation and risk stratification.

Laboratories adopting AI face distinctive challenges including preanalytical variability, interplatform calibration differences, specimen quality effects, reagent-lot sensitivity, and context-dependent result interpretation that complicate validation and deployment.

This narrative review from Chinese Medical Journal examines how AI in laboratory medicine has evolved from conventional machine learning on structured results to deep learning and large language models that handle unstructured clinical text. It compares four paradigms and reviews evidence across blood cell morphology, autoverification, infectious risk stratification, urinalysis interpretation, decision support, and report generation.

Large language models could distribute misinformation and exacerbate scientific misconduct in medicine due to lack of accountability and transparency.

A Communications Medicine overview published October 10 2023 examines large language models as text-processing AI tools that gained wide attention after ChatGPT's November 2022 release, assessing their near-human ability to answer, summarize and translate and their emerging use in clinical practice, medical research and medical education.

Some algorithms overestimated the number at risk versus FRS without addressing overdiagnosis risk, while treating statistical significance as clinical significance.

A systematic review published 12 September 2026 searched three databases to 1 January 2025 and included 29 studies that directly compared machine learning CVD risk predictions with the Framingham Risk Score in healthy adults. Twenty-three studies reported improved predictive ability, often by adding sociodemographic predictors absent from FRS or costly diagnostics such as CT angiography.

Most studies of AI-enabled orthodontic care were conducted in urban or institutional environments, leaving a significant gap in real-world longitudinal data for rural or low-resource settings where access remains a major challenge.

This scoping review examined 23 studies published between January 2000 and September 2025 on AI in orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, appliance design, and teledentistry. It found AI-assisted systems can improve diagnostic precision and reduce clinical workload, and that remote monitoring platforms can cut in-person appointments while maintaining standards and improving compliance.
