Medical AI: from promise to practice
AI is being integrated into medical practice, with tools interpreting images, tracking physiological parameters, and summarising clinical records. The UK's National Health Service launched a breast cancer screening clinical trial in 2025, testing AI systems on mammograms from nearly 700,000 patients.
AI is transforming medical practice by analyzing data continuously and handling administrative tasks. The UK's National Health Service launched the 'Edith' clinical trial in 2025, testing AI systems on mammograms from nearly 700,000 patients. As of March 2026, the FDA approved roughly 1,450 AI-based medical devices. Researchers at UNIGE are exploring AI's potential in polypharmacy and cardiovascular monitoring, focusing on a European AI model that respects data privacy. The Argentic project analyzes physiological data in cardiology and rehabilitation, while AIM-SAFE focuses on the safety of drug treatments. Both projects aim to complement human capabilities without replacing them.
