Doctors struggle to diagnose skin disease accurately in patients with darker skin tones, according to new research from MIT. The study found that dermatologists correctly diagnosed images of skin disease in just 34% of cases involving darker skin, compared with 38% involving lighter skin. The researchers also examined the effect of AI assistance on diagnostic…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology researchers from multiple institutions including the Institute of Structural Biology, Technical University of Munich, and others have developed a novel approach to drug discovery, named MISATO. This innovative model is designed to enhance the process of drug design, a critical aspect within the broader field of computational chemistry and structural biology.…
A new study from MIT researchers suggests that doctors are less accurate in diagnosing skin diseases on patients with darker skin through images alone. The study analyzed the accuracy of over 1,000 dermatologists and general practitioners and found that dermatologists correctly diagnosed about 38% of the images they saw, but only 34% for those of…
