Discover Brent Chapman's emotional story of regaining sight with 'tooth-in-eye' surgery. A powerful tale of hope, resilience, and medical marvels. Brent Chapman's Blindness Story Imagine waking each day to a world of endless twilight, with shapes only felt, not seen, and faces only sensed, not seen. For Brent Chapman, this was a reality for years. A once colourful world slowly faded in a vague grey that was robbed by an unyielding ocular disorder. His story, however, is not one of despair, but of extraordinary hope, groundbreaking medical advance, and the raw and overwhelming power of human emotion. Our senses are often taken for granted, aren't they? The view of a loved one's smile, the translucent vastness of a starlit sky, the mere act of moving through a bustling street. For Brent, these were far-off memories, precious memories of an earlier life. But then something very amazing happened. He had what is known as a 'tooth-in-eye' surgery, a procedure ...

Bill Gates funds a $1mn AI Alzheimer’s Prize to accelerate innovation in brain health. Learn how AI could transform Alzheimer’s detection and treatment. Introduction: How AI Could Transform Alzheimer’s Detection and Care Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most devastating health conditions of modernity. Families see their loved ones lose themselves over time, unable to remember, unable to rely on themselves, and unable to find a connection with the world. In spite of the billions of dollars invested in research, there has not been a cure yet. That is why the recent news about Bill Gates providing a million-dollar prize to develop AI Alzheimer treatment caused such upsurge. The goal of this competition is to apply the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to find previously unexplored methods of detection, treatment, and even prevention of Alzheimer. The question is what about AI? Why this time? Let us simplify it. Bill Gates and His Personal Connection to Alzheimer’s Bill Gates i...

AI is reshaping heart transplants in U.S. hospitals through smarter donor matching, early rejection prediction, and improved patient survival. Imagine, years of waiting, and then, finally there is a chance of getting a new heart tuned to your specifications by a clever computer program. That is the practical future of artificial intelligence (AI) in transplant medicine today. State-of-the-art hospitals in the United States are using AI to enhance all parts of the heart transplantation process, matching donor hearts with needy patients, forecasting complications prior to their occurrence. These developments are making what science fiction used to feel become a new life for patients.  To understand how AI is transforming cardiology beyond transplants, AI in Cardiology: How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Heart Care As an example, at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, the AI-guided methodology helped a 17-year old Kataliya who had a reoccurring rare antibody profile finally receive...

Australian man survives 105 days with the BiVACOR titanium artificial heart before a successful transplant, marking a major cardiac breakthrough.

AI-accelerated FastGlioma picks up remaining brain tumor in seconds supplying surgeons life-saving precision in operations. 120 Seconds Which Save Lives: How the Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming the Field of Brain Surgery Imagine this. You are on an operating table and a group of neurosurgeons are operating on the most sensitive part of the human body - The brain. Each second is compared to a drop of water on a hot sand, valuable, irreducible. During that point, there is one question indicating the success of the surgery, “Have we eliminated all traces of the tumor?” Surgeons have answered the question based on their eyes, experience and efficiencies of post surgical scans over the past decades. And here is the thing, little specks of tumor sometimes lurk about in plain view, and mix with the good cells. Failure to have them may imply that the cancer relapses. FastGlioma is a new advanced AI tool that is venturing into the operating room now. And it isn’t just helping, it is cha...
