Houston, Texas. – Los pacientes internados en el Hospital Metodista de Houston llevan adherido al pecho un dispositivo de monitoreo del tamaño de medio billete, desempeñando sin saberlo un papel en el uso cada vez más frecuente de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la atención médica. Este delgado dispositivo, que funciona con baterías, se llama BioButton y registra los signos vitales de los pacientes, incluidas la temperatura, y las frecuencias cardíaca y respiratoria. Esos informes se envían —de manera inalámbrica— al personal de enfermería, que puede estar tanto en la sala de control del ho...

Former Maltese prime minister Joseph Muscat is among several former and current officials on the Mediterranean island facing criminal charges in a corruption scandal over a scheme to sell public hospitals to a private company. The charges, which mainly relate to money laundering, were brought by prosecutors on Monday but the hospital deal itself dates back to 2015 and has been the subject of multiple civil court rulings, audits, and investigative reports. Muscat has denied wrongdoing, writing in a Facebook post that if the charges were not so serious, they would be “laughable”. Experts said th...

HOUSTON — Patients admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital get a monitoring device about the size of a half-dollar affixed to their chest — and an unwitting role in the expanding use of artificial intelligence in health care. The slender, battery-powered gadget, called a BioButton, records vital signs including heart and breathing rates, then wirelessly sends the readings to nurses sitting in a 24-hour control room elsewhere in the hospital or in their homes. The device’s software uses AI to analyze the voluminous data and detect signs a patient’s condition is deteriorating. Hospital officials ...

Every day, the scene plays out in hospitals across America: Older men and women lie on gurneys in emergency room corridors moaning or suffering silently as harried medical staff attend to crises. Even when physicians determine these patients need to be admitted to the hospital, they often wait for hours — sometimes more than a day — in the ER in pain and discomfort, not getting enough food or water, not moving around, not being helped to the bathroom, and not getting the kind of care doctors deem necessary. “You walk through ER hallways, and they’re lined from end to end with patients on stret...

Una mañana de enero de 2021, Carol Rosen recibió un tratamiento estándar para el cáncer de mama metastásico. Murió después de tres semanas de sufrimiento, con un dolor insoportable causado por la misma droga que debería haber ayudado a prolongar su vida. Rosen, maestra jubilada de 70 años, pasó sus últimos días angustiada, sufriendo de diarrea intensa, náuseas y dolorosas llagas en la boca que le impedían comer, beber y, finalmente, hablar. La piel se le desprendía del cuerpo. Sus riñones y su hígado habían dejado de funcionar. “Tu cuerpo arde desde”, dijo la hija de Rosen, Lindsay Murray, de ...

New technologies are making it easier for companies to fix prices and discriminate against individual consumers, the Biden administration’s top consumer watchdog said Tuesday. Algorithms make it possible for companies to fix prices without explicitly coordinating with one another, posing a new test for regulators policing the market, said Lina Khan, chair of the Federal Trade Commission, during a media event hosted by KFF. “I think we could be entering a somewhat novel era of pricing,” Khan told reporters. Khan is regarded as one of the most aggressive antitrust regulators in recent U.S. histo...

For the past year, police Detective Tim Lillard has spent most of his waking hours unofficially investigating his wife’s death. The question has never been exactly how Ann Picha-Lillard died on Nov. 19, 2022: She succumbed to respiratory failure after an infection put too much strain on her weakened lungs. She was 65. For Tim Lillard, the question has been why. Lillard had been in the hospital with his wife every day for a month. Nurses in the intensive care unit had told him they were short-staffed, and were constantly rushing from one patient to the next. Lillard tried to pitch in where he c...
