AI and its generative capabilities have gained significant attention, particularly in the field of biomedicine, since ChatGPT's rise to prominence in late 2022. AI is being used in various medical technologies to provide medical information, aid disease diagnosis, accelerate drug development, and improve surgical procedures.
 

AI's Role in Delivering Medical Information

AI plays a crucial role in delivering medical information. For example, Google's AI called Med-PaLM has received a remarkable 92.6% approval rating from clinical physicians and has been published in Nature in July 2023. Taiwan's dentall.ai, powered by ChatGPT's Large Language Models (LLMs) and deep learning, caters to dentistry's specific clinical needs. AI is also being used for vision testing, detecting abnormal respiratory sounds, and enabling remote patient care.
 

AI's Contribution to Drug Development

AI has sped up progress in drug development. The AI software RFdiffusion has overcome previous limitations in protein design, allowing custom creation of high-symmetry protein structures for specific requirements. AnHorn Medicines has focused on AI drug discovery for protein degradation drugs, along with applications in targeted drugs, immunological disease treatments, sleeping pills, and vaccines.
 

Aiding Disease Diagnosis with AI

AI is invaluable in aiding disease diagnosis, enabling precise diagnoses and individualized treatment plans. Alpha Intelligence Manifolds's DeepXray™ uses X-ray imaging with high accuracy to diagnose chronic bone ailments like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Applied BioCode (6598.TW) uses digital biomarker technology for simultaneous multi-pathogen analysis, improving patient treatments. AI also helps diagnose cancer, retinal disorders, neurological diseases, fractures, heart disease, strokes, and more.
 

AI's Impact on Surgical Support

In surgical support, Brain Navi Biotechnology's NaoTrac, an Asian neurosurgical navigation robot, stands out. NaoTrac combines high-precision technology with surgeons' expertise to streamline surgical procedures and shorten the learning curve, leading to minimally invasive surgery and improved outcomes. This technology is CE-certificated and approved by Taiwan FDA.
 
In conclusion, AI has undeniable potential to revolutionize healthcare and improve quality of life. However, it's essential to maintain a critical mindset and evaluate AI-provided information carefully.
