Welcome to MedAI Roundup, highlighting the latest news and research in healthcare-related artificial intelligence each month.

Twenty-eight healthcare groups -- including CVS Health, Duke Health, Houston Methodist, and Mass General Brigham -- have signed on to to manage the risks of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, the White House announced.

Meanwhile, HHS released on updated certification programs and requirements for healthcare technology companies as they develop AI-powered tools.

The launched its anticipated new monthly peer-reviewed journal -- NEJM AI -- focused on clinical research and applications of AI.

In one such example, adults with type 2 diabetes who were starting or adjusting insulin therapy saw significant improvements in the time required to achieve optimal dosage and overall adherence while using a voice-based conversational AI application, according to randomized clinical trial of 32 adults published in .

Additionally, AI-aided colonoscopies significantly enhanced detection of colorectal neoplasia and reduced miss rates for adenomatous polyps by as much as 50%, according to a meta-analysis of 33 randomized clinical trials published in .

On the other hand, researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found OpenAI's GPT-4 failed to appropriately model demographic diversity for medical conditions, revealing a tendency toward racial and gender bias during clinical decision-making support, according to a study published in .

Despite cautious optimism among clinicians about its future, most patients (80%) said they would be concerned if their physician used generative AI for patient care, according to a survey by . However, 86% of survey respondents said they would be more comfortable if they knew medical professionals were involved in developing the source material for the AI model.

On the business side, Google Cloud announced a new partnership with Augmedix, a healthcare technology company, that will allow it to start integrating Med-PaLM 2 -- Google's most powerful, medically-tuned AI model -- into its ambient medical documentation products, according to a company .

Meanwhile, another healthcare technology company, Forward, is trying to bring the power of AI directly to patients -- called the CarePod -- that will allow patients to access preventive care services such as biometric body scans or testing for hypertension and cardiac conditions. (Axios)
