Clinical Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Neurocardiology

Author: Amal Bilal, Class of 2028 Neurocardiology is a new and emerging field that examines the heart-brain interaction in the context of health and disease. Conditions such as stroke and cardiac arrhythmia are connected by the heart-brain axis: a network of neural, vascular, and physiological signals. Early and accurate detection of abnormalities along this axis is essential for improving patient outcomes. Stony Brook Medicine researcher … Continue reading Clinical Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Neurocardiology

Augmenting Ultrasounds with Artificial Intelligence to Advance Wound Healing

Author: Amal Bilal, Class of 2028 Chronic wounds, or wounds that demonstrate abnormal repair due to a deficient healing process, pose major healthcare challenges worldwide. These wounds can lead to pain, infection, hospitalization, surgery, and, in the worst cases, amputation. Therefore, early identification of whether a wound is healing properly is crucial for adjusting treatment plans, reducing side effects and costs, and ultimately improving patient … Continue reading Augmenting Ultrasounds with Artificial Intelligence to Advance Wound Healing
