Vara, which trades as MX Healthcare GmbH, announced the certification on Wednesday in a statement issued through Business Wire. Chief executive Jonas Muff set out the reasoning in a longer post the […]

An AI reads an ECG in two seconds and finds what cardiologists cannot

An ECG takes a few seconds to record and costs very little. Researchers at Imperial College London have trained an AI system that can read one in under two seconds and identify signs of heart failure and valve disease that clinicians cannot detect from the same trace. The results were presented at the European Society […]

London surgeons remove brain tumour in first AI-assisted operation of its kind

Surgeons at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London have removed a brain tumour in what University College London Hospitals says is the world’s first successful AI-assisted operation of its kind. The system analysed live camera footage during the procedure, helping the team identify nerves and blood vessels near the tumour, and joins […]

MindRank’s oral GLP-1 is the furthest along any AI-native drug programme

MindRank, a Hangzhou drug developer built around AI, says its lead candidate went from programme initiation to Phase III trials in roughly four and a half years on about $23mn of cumulative research spending. If that holds up, it is the most concrete answer yet to a question the sector has been asking loudly and […]

A robot that takes blood could be the best AI health story of 2026

One minute and 49 seconds, that was the median time a machine needed to read a patient’s arm, choose a vein, insert a needle, fill the tubes, and withdraw, across the Dutch clinical trial that carried it towards regulators. A phlebotomist working carefully takes roughly five minutes, by the company’s own reckoning. Nothing about the […]

Phonak’s new EON hearing aids run two AI systems on a chip built to sip power

Phonak has launched EON, a hearing aid platform built around a newly developed processor the company calls HYPERSONIC, which it says runs two artificial intelligence systems in parallel while drawing 37% less power than the generation before it. The Sonova-owned brand is pitching the release at the two problems that have defined the category for […]

This Bengaluru startup is training dogs and AI to sniff out cancer early

Dognosis pairs trained sniffer dogs with artificial intelligence to flag cancer from a breath sample. It is a charming idea aimed at a real problem, with equally real caveats: this is prescreening in trials, not a proven diagnostic. A dog’s nose has long outclassed most laboratory kit, and a two-year-old Bengaluru startup called Dognosis is […]

Bios Life leaves stealth with $25M and a Tempus alliance for cancer surveillance

A team of BioNTech alumni thinks cancer screening has been stuck in the past, and it has raised $25M to do something about it. Bios Life has emerged from stealth with a plan to replace one-off screening with continuous, AI-driven surveillance, and a data alliance with Tempus to power it. The seed round is well […]

$26,000 lab monkeys are the strange measure of China’s biotech boom

The clearest sign of China’s drug-development surge is not a molecule but a monkey. The price of a research primate there has climbed toward 150,000 yuan, roughly $26,000, and it keeps rising. That is a steep jump in a short time. The figure is up from an average of about 103,000 yuan in 2025, though […]
