Artificial Intelligence and Wearable Sensors Put the Gait Lab in the Patient’s Pocket
UCSF orthopaedic surgeon Stefano Bini, MD, in collaboration with Google’s Advanced Technologies and Products (ATAP) division, is developing technology that will revolutionize how providers measure joint function and quantify joint disease. This groundbreaking approach uses cutting-edge machine-learning algorithms and data collected from inexpensive, wearable inertial sensors to accurately replicate gait lab outputs for a fraction of the cost of traditional methods, and in any context.

Using AI in Electrocardiogram Analysis Can Improve Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a leading cause of sudden death in adolescents and initial detection is often difficult. A new UCSF study finds that Artificial Intelligence-enhanced (AI)-Electrocardiograms (ECG) may help identify the condition in its earliest stages and monitor important disease-related changes over time.

Sorting Cancers by “Immune Archetypes” Represents Potential New Approach to Developing Precision Immunotherapies
Using data from over 300 patient tumors, UCSF researchers have described 12 classes of “immune archetypes” to classify cancer tumors. Their findings, published today in CELL, reveal that cancers from different parts of the body are immunologically similar to one another. These classifications provide unique strategies for enhancing each patient’s choice of cancer immunotherapies.

UCSF-Led Study Confirms Some Cancer Immunotherapies May Lead to Myocarditis and Other Potentially Serious Arrhythmias
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer care by unleashing T-cells to fight tumors, but they can cause serious cardiotoxicities including myocarditis.

Olfactory Loss from COVID-19 Infection: Cause and Treatments Studied at UCSF
Complete (anosmia) and incomplete (hyposmia) smell sensitivity impairment are widely reported indicators among the many symptoms of COVID-19 infection. Quality of life can be substantially impacted by the loss of taste and smell, with possible effects including depression, loss of appetite, and safety risks from lack of awareness of gas leaks, smoke or spoiled food. The path to recovery of taste and smell varies widely among affected individuals.
