AI integration of chemical, biological and clinical data is supporting more informed rational drug design and has contributed to a small but growing number of AI-guided molecules entering clinical development.

This peer-reviewed review from August 2026 examines how machine learning, deep learning, NLP, and generative modeling are being used across medicinal chemistry, including target discovery, virtual screening, property prediction, de novo design, fragment optimization, ADMET assessment, and clinical trial design, with emphasis on multimodal data fusion and human-AI collaboration.

When applied to reduce administrative burden, AI can optimize workflow and clinical precision and theoretically free nurses to deepen the therapeutic bond with patients.

This discursive paper from the Journal of Advanced Nursing analyzes AI integration in nursing through the Fundamentals of Care framework. It reports that AI offers benefits for workflow optimization and clinical precision via predictive analytics and automated documentation, and argues that reducing administrative burden could theoretically release time for relational care.

Adding individual-level social determinants of health and clinical features to machine learning models improved suicide risk prediction over demographic-only baselines in a Maryland sample of 1214 suicide deaths and 815,544 living patients.

A retrospective study in the Maryland Suicide Data Warehouse tested whether social determinants of health improve machine learning suicide prediction. Using 1214 suicide deaths and 815,544 living patients linked to census tract data, three algorithms were trained and validated across demographic, clinical, and individual and geographic SDoH inputs.

An unsupervised AI framework discovered a 13-marker cellular morphometric signature from colorectal whole-slide images that transferred to gastric and esophageal cancers and enabled risk stratification of precancerous lesions and early-stage cancers to guide surveillance and intervention.

Researchers developed an unsupervised, interpretable AI framework to define tissue-agnostic cellular morphometric biomarkers that capture conserved tumor microenvironment organization across gastrointestinal organs. Discovered in colorectal cancer slides and validated in gastric and esophageal cancers in a 2,602-patient multi-center cohort, a 13-marker signature showed prognostic value and enabled risk stratification of precancerous lesions and early-stage cancers.

Machine learning models for water quality forecasting still face persistent challenges in data quality, model interpretability, and integration of spatio-temporal and fuzzy logic techniques.

As of July 28 2025, this peer-reviewed review synthesized machine learning and statistical approaches for forecasting and classifying water quality, focusing on hybrid models that combine multiple methods. It assessed their application to rivers in Malaysia facing pollution from industrialisation, agriculture, and urban expansion, and reviewed standards and interpretability techniques.

Employing machine learning for healthcare fraud detection is limited by poor data quality, scalability issues, regulatory compliance requirements, and resource constraints.

Published August 25, 2025, this peer-reviewed review synthesized current machine learning methods for healthcare fraud detection, covering supervised, unsupervised, deep learning, and hybrid approaches like SMOTE-ENN, explainable AI, federated learning, and ensemble learning, and noted Medicare, LEIE, and Kaggle as common evaluation datasets.
