“We’ve witnessed ten years of change in a month” is a typical description of how the pandemic is accelerating the use of telemedicine. Before the virus, video appointments made up only 1% of the 350m consultations which Britain’s National Health Service handles each year.

Researchers have found a way to make artificial intelligence more energy efficient, reports Tech Explore.

Thanks to a mathematical breakthrough, AI applications like speech recognition, gesture recognition and ECG classification can become a hundred to a thousand times more energy efficient. 

According to Diagnostic Imaging, AI is capable of reading a chest X-ray as well as a radiology resident.  

Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can read chest X-rays as well as radiology residents, potentially fast-tracking interpretations, saving resources, and freeing up residents for other duties.
