The promise of AI in healthcare: transforming communication and decision-making for patients.

J Commun Healthc

January 2025

Venditti Consulting, LLC, Westport, CT, United States.

By addressing communication gaps, the integration of AI tools in healthcare has a greater ability to improve decision-making and to empower patients with more control over their health. Current systems for navigating healthcare - such as finding providers or understanding costs - are fragmented and cumbersome, often leaving patients frustrated and uninformed. An AI Healthcare Assistant App, leveraging advances in health IT interoperability, price transparency, and user-centred design, could simplify these processes.

Objective: Whereas a scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) is important for diagnosing epilepsy, a single routine EEG is limited in its diagnostic value. Only a small percentage of routine EEGs show interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) and overall misdiagnosis rates of epilepsy are 20% to 30%. We aim to demonstrate how network properties in EEG recordings can be used to improve the speed and accuracy differentiating epilepsy from mimics, such as functional seizures - even in the absence of IEDs.

Mitochondrial disorder diagnosis and management- what the pediatric neurologist wants to know.

Eur J Paediatr Neurol

December 2024

University Children's Hospital, Paracelsus Medical University (PMU), Salzburg, Austria; Amalia Children's Hospital, Department of Paediatrics, Radboudumc, Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

Childhood-onset mitochondrial disorders are rare genetic diseases that often manifest with neurological impairment due to altered mitochondrial structure or function. To date, pathogenic variants in 373 genes across the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes have been linked to mitochondrial disease, but the ensuing genetic and clinical complexity of these disorders poses considerable challenges to their diagnosis and management. Nevertheless, despite the current lack of curative treatment, recent advances in next generation sequencing and -omics technologies have laid the foundation for precision mitochondrial medicine through enhanced diagnostic accuracy and greater insight into pathomechanisms.
