Today's health news is about the promise and peril of algorithms in medicine. A new AI can spot sudden cardiac death risk in routine ECGs, while Medicare's AI-driven prior authorization system is causing real harm to patients. Meanwhile, a Stanford study makes the case that daylight saving time is bad for our health.
Two stories today show AI's double-edged role in healthcare: one saves lives, the other creates headaches.
UC Berkeley's AI model spots patterns linked to sudden cardiac death in standard ECGs, catching risks doctors miss. This could flag at-risk younger athletes before a cardiac arrest happens.
A KFF Health News investigation finds Medicare's new AI prior authorization program is causing delays, errors, and extra burdens for patients and doctors. One rancher had to make multiple long drives for a routine spinal epidural.
A Stanford study adds to the evidence that our clocks matter more than we think.
The Stanford study argues the biannual daylight saving shift isn't just acutely harmful but also disrupts circadian rhythms long-term, raising risks of stroke and obesity. They suggest better alternatives.
