AI scans patient records to flag early signs of Alzheimer’s

Mass General Brigham researchers are applying AI to quickly sift through routine electronic medical records to spot red flags for cognitive impairment, achieving about 93% accuracy in identifying early Alzheimer’s. With roughly 90% of mild cognitive impairment cases going undiagnosed in the U.S., the work aims to detect signs sooner to enable earlier treatment with newer drugs that slow progression, according to Dr. Lidia Moura and study collaborators.

AI Identifies Long COVID in 23% of Cases Amid Treatment Delays

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have developed an AI tool that identifies long COVID symptoms in electronic medical records, estimating a 23% prevalence rate, significantly higher than current estimates. The tool, which analyzes data from nearly 300,000 patients, aims to provide a more accurate and less biased diagnosis of long COVID, potentially improving personalized care and reducing biases in healthcare access.

St. Luke's Hospital accelerates closure date.

McLaren St. Luke's hospital in Toledo, Ohio, will close its doors on May 8 at 5 p.m., a week earlier than originally planned, due to the extra time required to decommission equipment and migrate electronic medical records. The closure is part of an agreement with Mercy Health, and WellCare Physicians Groups offices will continue to operate under McLaren St. Luke's through May 31. Patients requiring hospitalization will be transferred to a Mercy Health hospital, and all hospital medical records will be maintained by McLaren Health Care after the closure.
