AI Drug Discovery: What Happens Between a Promising Molecule and a Medicine?
AI can speed up the search for drug candidates. Proving they work in people is still the slow, expensive and uncertain part.

AI + MedicineCan AI Spot Cancer Earlier? Where Imaging Helps and Where False Alarms Matter
In breast screening, AI support has been tested in a randomized trial of more than 100,000 women and a real-world study of 460,000. The results are promising, but false alarms, overdiagnosis and deskilling still matter.
AI + MedicineThe MRI Reinvention: Faster Scans, Better Images, and the Real Role of AI
AI reconstruction has nearly halved knee MRI scan times in clinical studies without losing diagnostic accuracy. But networks that fill in missing data can also invent or erase detail, so validation must be specific.
DeepTech + MedTechThe Next Medical Device Wave: Sensors, Robotics, Imaging, and Intelligent Software
From over-the-counter glucose monitors to AI-enabled imaging software, medical devices are getting smaller, smarter and more autonomous. Here is what is authorized, what is still experimental, and what could slow things down.
AI + MedicineWhat If Every Patient Had a Digital Twin? A Thought Experiment About Personalized Medicine
Personalized computer models of the heart and in-silico trials are already used in research and regulation. Scaling them into a living digital twin for every patient raises hard questions of biology, validation and trust.
Faster MRI, sharper images — and the real role of AI
Deep learning can rebuild MRI images from less data, cutting scan times. The gains are real, and so is the risk of convincing errors.

Five questions to ask before you share a headline
From The Lab
What if an MRI scan took a fraction of the time?
Shorter scans could mean less time lying still in a loud tube — and more people scanned per day.
What if we could detect a cancer before symptoms appeared?
Finding cancer earlier sounds like pure good news. The details are more interesting.
What if an AI model discovered a promising drug target?
AI can sift biology faster than any lab. Finding a target is the start of the story, not the end.
