Clinical notes contain the richest patient information in any hospital - but it sits in free text that no algorithm can read at scale.

A privacy-preserving LLM extracts prognostic data from head and neck oncology notes. The model runs locally - patient data never leaves the hospital.

Most clinical AI models fail in deployment. Not because the algorithms are wrong, but because clinicians were never asked how they should work.

Right now, doctors wait one to three days to learn which antibiotics will work for a serious infection. A new deep learning system called ANTIBIOTIC reads mass spectrometry data hospitals already collect and predicts resistance in minutes.

Antimicrobial resistance kills over a million people a year. The core problem is speed - conventional testing takes one to three days. During that window, doctors prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics, driving more resistance.

Published in NPJ Digital Medicine by Wang, Tsao, Hsieh et al. from National Taiwan University Hospital.

Key findings:

- Bacterial identification AUC: 0.99 (internal), 0.96 (external)

- Resistance prediction AUC: 0.94 (internal), 0.61 after fine-tuning on recent data

- 89,026 mass spectrometry records, 274 deep learning models

- 26 models for bacterial ID, 248 for antibiotic resistance prediction

- Integrated chatbot for antibiotic recommendation with kidney-function dosing

A resistance AUC of 0.61 is not a slam dunk - but it is decision support, not a replacement for lab culture. The open-source pipeline means any hospital can adapt it locally.

What happens when healthcare AI hallucinates? A new systematic review of 44 studies identifies 7 strategies that actually reduce AI errors in medicine.

Sanjay Basu and Benjamin Huynh from UC San Francisco and Johns Hopkins reviewed every major approach - from retrieval-augmented generation to human-in-the-loop oversight - and found that combining strategies consistently beats any single method.

Key findings:

- RAG reduced hallucinations by 30-50%

- Human-in-the-loop achieved up to 95% reduction

- Combined approaches outperformed all single methods

- Proposed MediHall severity scale for prioritizing AI errors

Can contactless sensors in your home detect cerebrovascular disease before a stroke happens? A new study from South Korea placed IoT sensors in the homes of 1,224 older adults and trained an AI to watch for subtle changes in movement, sleep, and activity patterns.

The AI identified people in the pre-stroke phase with 85% precision, and predicted who was within four weeks of diagnosis with 95% sensitivity. Evening activity patterns were the strongest signal.

Published in NPJ Digital Medicine (2026). DOI: 10.1038/s41746-026-02836-7

Authors: Baek J, Cho K-H, Lim L, Chong JW

Key findings:

- 1,224 adults aged 65+, 13,362 two-week observation windows

- AUPRC 0.85 for prodromal (pre-diagnosis) identification

- AUROC 0.91 for classifying diagnosed patients

- 95% sensitivity, 97% specificity for imminent diagnostic risk

- Bedtime hours (10 PM - 2 AM) and evening hours (6-10 PM) most informative

- Even indoor humidity correlated with cerebrovascular risk

This is retrospective research. Prospective validation is the critical next step.

In rural Brazil, there’s one dermatologist for every 17,000 people. A new AI app that works completely offline just helped health workers catch skin cancers far more accurately.

Published in npj Digital Medicine (Nature), Pacheco et al. validated the tool with 131 healthcare professionals across 9 cities. Sensitivity jumped from 64% to 80% with AI assistance. In rural areas, unnecessary specialist referrals dropped 30% while cancer surgeries stayed the same.

Key findings:

• AI model: fine-tuned MobileNet-V3, trained on 13,569 images

• 5 priority levels for malignancy risk

• Offline-capable mobile app for rural deployment

• Sensitivity: 0.648 → 0.804 with AI assistance

• Triage effectiveness: 58.6% → 75.7%

Limitations: single Brazilian state, not all skin tones represented, triage tool not diagnosis.

Can ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude actually read an electrocardiogram? A new peer-reviewed study tested six major vision-language models on 70 real clinical ECG images.

The results are a wake-up call for anyone assuming AI can replace ECG interpretation.

Key findings:

• Best generalist model (ChatGPT-5): 62% balanced accuracy

• Atrial fibrillation sensitivity: 11% or less — missed nearly every case

• ST-segment deviation sensitivity: below 25%

• Specialized ECG model PULSE-7B reached 89% for rhythm classification
