A generative-AI-designed molecule in a phase 2a IPF trial

Insilico Medicine used a generative platform to propose TNIK as a target in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and to design rentosertib (formerly ISM001-055). Nature Medicine published a 12-week randomized phase 2a trial in 2025. The primary endpoint was safety, not lung function. The molecule is investigational. A small secondary signal is not an approved therapy.

AI-supported reading in the MASAI mammography trial

The MASAI trial in Sweden randomly assigned screening mammograms to AI-supported reading or standard double reading without AI. Transpara scored each exam and routed lower scores to a single reader and the highest score to double reading, with detection marks available on higher-risk exams. This card quotes the prespecified interim safety analysis, not a claim that every screening program should switch.

Ambient documentation during the outpatient visit

Ambient systems record a consented visit and draft a note the clinician edits before signing. Abridge, Nuance DAX Copilot, and Nabla are three products sold for this job. Vendors describe less after-hours charting. Independent results differ by specialty, and a draft is not a signed note. Patients need to know the visit is being captured.

A prior-authorization packet drafted from the chart

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. For a planned imaging study or procedure, a model assembles the indication, prior treatments, and relevant results into a draft the authorization staff edit before anything is sent to a payer. Staff have to check that each sentence is actually in the chart. Models omit and sometimes invent. No approval-rate improvement is claimed.

Worklist triage for critical findings on chest radiographs

Several cleared products flag possible urgent findings on a chest radiograph, such as pneumothorax, and move that study up a reading worklist. Names often cited for this job include Lunit INSIGHT CXR, Annalise Enterprise CXR, and qXR. This card describes the shared workflow, not a head-to-head, and it does not pool accuracy numbers across vendors. A flagged study still needs a radiologist’s report.

A plain-language discharge explanation the clinician edits

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. At discharge, a model drafts a short explanation of the diagnosis, medicines, and warning signs from the clinician’s own note, in the patient’s language where the hospital supports it. The clinician or pharmacist edits every line before it is printed or sent. The draft is not allowed to add a new instruction that is absent from the signed note. It is not a chatbot the patient can ask for new medical advice.

Autonomous diabetic retinopathy screening in primary care

IDx-DR, now marketed as LumineticsCore by Digital Diagnostics, was authorized to screen adults with diabetes for more-than-mild diabetic retinopathy without an eye specialist reading the photo first. A primary care team captures images on a specified retinal camera and the software returns a refer-or-rescreen result. It is not a complete eye examination. Pregnancy and several existing retinal conditions sit outside the labeled use.

TREWS sepsis early warning on the inpatient ward

The Targeted Real-time Early Warning System (TREWS) watches the electronic record and asks a clinician to confirm or dismiss a possible sepsis alert. It was studied prospectively across five hospitals, not as a silent background score. The published association depends on a person acting on the alert within a few hours. It does not diagnose sepsis by itself.

External validation of a widely deployed sepsis model

The Epic Sepsis Model is a proprietary score switched on in a large number of U.S. hospitals. Researchers at Michigan Medicine compared it with sepsis in their own hospitalizations, instead of relying on the vendor performance sheet. The paper is included here because a familiar model can still fail local validation. Widespread deployment is not the same thing as demonstrated usefulness.

Suppressing non-actionable alarms in the ICU

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. A unit feeds monitor alarms through a second layer that withholds repeats already explained by motion, a loose lead, or a value the nurse just acknowledged. The bedside alarm for a new life-threatening rhythm still sounds. The point of the scenario is the governance question: who is allowed to silence what, and how a missed true alarm would be reviewed.

A deterioration score for the rapid-response huddle

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. Each morning the rapid-response nurse opens a list that combines a NEWS2-style vital-sign score with a model score from the record. The huddle decides who needs a bedside review. The score does not page a code team, order labs, or write a note. Hospitals using a vendor deterioration index should repeat a local check before trusting the threshold, as the sepsis literature already shows.

Computer-assisted coding with a coder still accountable

Computer-assisted coding suggests diagnosis and procedure codes from the note and sends them to a professional coder. Products in the 3M lineage, now under Solventum, have done a version of this for years, and newer language models are being added on top. The coder remains the person who submits the claim. A suggestion is not documentation of a condition the clinician did not record.

Parallel notification of a suspected large-vessel occlusion

Viz.ai ContaCT analyzes brain CT angiography and can text a neurovascular specialist when it suspects a large-vessel occlusion, in parallel with the usual read. FDA permitted marketing in 2018 as notification software. The specialist still reviews full images on a diagnostic workstation. The product is not a diagnosis and not a treatment decision.

Triage & Emergency

Illustrative

A suggested emergency acuity for the triage nurse

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. As the triage nurse types the chief complaint and first vitals, a model suggests an acuity level. The nurse accepts or overrides it, and the accepted level is the one that enters the queue. The scenario is about keeping a human on the decision when under-triage would delay care. No accuracy percentage is claimed, because this entry is not a study.

Adjunct detection on prostate biopsy whole-slide images

Paige Prostate marks a location on a digitized prostate biopsy slide that the model ranks as the most suspicious for cancer, after the pathologist’s own first look. FDA authorized it in 2021 as an adjunct. The output is not the diagnosis. The pathologist still signs out, using the full clinical context and any extra stains they choose to order.

Quantitative assist for immunohistochemistry scoring

Vendors including PathAI and Ibex offer algorithms that estimate staining extent, such as a Ki-67 or PD-L1 percentage, on a digitized slide. A pathologist checks the region and the number before it enters the report. This card does not restate concordance percentages, which are assay-specific and easy to over-read. The signed score remains a pathology result, not a model result.

Matching a cancer chart to trial eligibility

Trial-matching tools read structured fields and sometimes the free-text note to list studies a patient might qualify for. Tempus, Flatiron, and Deep 6 AI are examples of companies that sell a version of this. A research coordinator still checks every criterion against the chart. A match list is not enrollment, and it is not a treatment recommendation.

Remote Monitoring

Illustrative

A home signal that prompts a heart-failure nurse to call

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. Daily weight, blood pressure, and a short symptom check land in a pool. A simple model ranks who should be called today when the heart-failure nurse starts the shift. The nurse places the call and decides on a diuretic plan with the covering clinician. The scenario deliberately stops before any claim that admissions fell. Device trials of hemodynamic monitors are a different evidence base and are not borrowed here.

A weekly glucose-pattern note for the diabetes visit

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. Before a diabetes visit, software drafts a short note from a continuous glucose export: time in range, overnight lows, and the days that look different. The clinician edits it and decides any change in insulin. The scenario excludes autonomous dosing. Closed-loop insulin systems are regulated devices with their own labels and are not this workflow.

A guided CBT companion between therapy sessions

Wysa is an example of a conversational program that offers cognitive-behavioral exercises between visits with a person. It is support, not a therapist, and it is not a crisis service.

REACH VET outreach for veterans at highest statistical risk

REACH VET is a U.S. Veterans Health Administration program. A statistical model flags veterans in a very small top tier of risk each month, and a clinician who knows the patient reviews the chart and makes contact. Identification is not a diagnosis of suicidal intent. The program exists to prompt a human conversation and a look at whether care should change.

A next-shift workload forecast for the charge nurse

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. Late in the afternoon a model estimates how heavy the next shift will be from the current census, planned admissions, and recent acuity. The charge nurse uses it as one input to ask the staffing office for help. It does not cut a shift by itself, and it does not replace the legal and contractual staffing rules of the hospital. No savings percentage is stated.

It is a prompt, not a new score the nurse must obey. Alert fatigue is part of the design problem: if every patient is flagged, the list has failed. No fall-rate reduction is claimed.

Recognizing surgical phases in laparoscopic video

EndoNet, from Twinanda and colleagues, is a research network that recognizes surgical phases and instruments in laparoscopic cholecystectomy video. It was demonstrated on the public Cholec80 collection. The result is about whether a model can tell where a case is in its sequence. It is not evidence that video analysis reduces complications, and it is not a product cleared to guide a surgeon’s hands.

A navigator list for people overdue for cancer screening

This is an illustrative composite, not a trial report. A registry ranks patients who are overdue for a fit test, mammogram, or other screening the health system already recommends. Navigators call down the list. Before anyone trusts the rank order, the team checks whether the score under-calls a language group, a neighborhood, or a payer. No detection-rate improvement is claimed. A biased rank can widen a gap the program meant to close.
