A new study by Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has shown that in certain scenarios, modern artificial intelligence models outperform real doctors in the accuracy of primary diagnosis. This is not yet a revolution in medicine, but it is already a significant shift toward the increasingly active use of AI. Read about the trends in the use of artificial intelligence in medicine in the UNN report.
We should note immediately that this report is not about an “individual consultation” between a patient and ChatGPT or any other similar system — which we strongly urge you to refrain from — but about scientific developments that are gradually finding practical application in clinical settings.
Oncology diagnostics – the largest field of application
Last year, a group of researchers from the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) developed an optical biosensor capable of detecting trace amounts of cancer cell DNA in the blood with high sensitivity, enabling early cancer diagnosis. Researchers believe the sensor has higher sensitivity than a conventional biopsy.
A study published in early 2026 states that Chinese systems DAMO GRAPE from Alibaba and RuiPath from Huawei have demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy and are already being used in clinical settings. It is noted that DAMO GRAPE for gastric cancer screening outperformed human radiologists, achieving a sensitivity of 85.1% and a specificity of 96.8%. In addition to detection, machine learning models are increasingly being used to predict treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
Furthermore, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved over 70 AI-related devices, with 54.9% focused on radiology. Of these, the largest number of systems are aimed at general cancer detection, as well as breast cancer detection. AI-assisted technologies are also used during screenings, particularly for cervical cancer. Similar systems are gradually being introduced in Ukraine,…
