Purpose Of Review: Given the increasing global burden of diabetic retinopathy and the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, this review aims to summarize the current state of artificial intelligence technology in diabetic retinopathy detection and management, assessing its potential to improve care and visual outcomes in real-world settings.

Recent Findings: Most recent studies focused on the integration of artificial intelligence in the field of diabetic retinopathy screening, focusing on real-world efficacy and clinical implementation of such artificial intelligence models. Additionally, artificial intelligence holds the potential to predict diabetic retinopathy progression, enhance personalized treatment strategies, and identify systemic disease biomarkers from ocular images through 'oculomics', moving towards a more precise, efficient, and accessible care. The emergence of foundation model architectures and generative artificial intelligence, which more clearly reflect the clinical care process, may enable rapid advances in diabetic retinopathy care, research and medical education.

Summary: This review explores the emerging technology of artificial intelligence to assess the potential to improve patient outcomes and optimize personalized management in healthcare delivery and medical research. While artificial intelligence is expected to play an increasingly important role in diabetic retinopathy care, ongoing research and clinical trials are essential to address implementation issues and focus on long-term patient outcomes for successful real-world adoption of artificial intelligence in diabetic retinopathy.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic, progressive condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In addition to the daily challenges that HF poses, acute exacerbations can lead to costly hospitalizations and increased mortality. High health care costs and the burden of HF have led to the emerging application of new technologies to support people living with HF to stay well while living in the community.

Background: Skin cancers, including melanoma and keratinocyte cancers, are among the most common cancers worldwide, and their incidence is rising in most populations. Earlier detection of skin cancer leads to better outcomes for patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been applied to skin cancer diagnosis, but many technologies lack clinical evidence and/or the appropriate regulatory approvals.

Background: The literature is equivocal as to whether the predicted negative mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic came to fruition. Some quantitative studies report increased emotional problems and depression; others report improved mental health and well-being. Qualitative explorations reveal heterogeneity, with themes ranging from feelings of loss to growth and development.

Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence tools that have the prospect of profoundly changing how we practice all aspects of medicine. Considering the incredible potential of LLMs in medicine and the interest of many health care stakeholders for implementation into routine practice, it is therefore essential that clinicians be aware of the basic risks associated with the use of these models. Namely, a significant risk associated with the use of LLMs is their potential to create hallucinations.

Background: In data-sparse areas such as health care, computer scientists aim to leverage as much available information as possible to increase the accuracy of their machine learning models' outputs. As a standard, categorical data, such as patients' gender, socioeconomic status, or skin color, are used to train models in fusion with other data types, such as medical images and text-based medical information. However, the effects of including categorical data features for model training in such data-scarce areas are underexamined, particularly regarding models intended to serve individuals equitably in a diverse population.
