Research Demonstrates How Technology and AI Can Improve Urologic Health
May 05 2024 - 9:29AM
Abstracts being presented at the American Urological Association's
Annual Meeting discuss an AI chatbot created by urologists that
provides accurate urologic information to patients and a series of
algorithms developed to accurately predict a urine culture's
sensitivity to antibiotics up to three days prior to culture
results.
Researchers will present their study findings covering important
updates on technology in San Antonio, Texas, from May 3 to 6. Jacob
Taylor, MD, urologic oncology fellow at UT Southwestern Medical
Center, moderated a virtual press session with the abstract
authors, providing key insights into their research.
“This is all very exciting data and new technology that is
already here and being used with patients,” said Dr. Taylor. “I
think these studies will improve patient care for a wide range of
the most common urologic conditions.”
The following abstracts are covered in the moderated panel:
- Machine Learning Models Employed At The Time Of Urine Specimen
Collection Predict Antibiotic Resistance On Final Culture
- Effectiveness Of The Medical Chatbot PROSCA To Inform Patients
About Prostate Cancer: Results Of A Randomized Controlled
Trial
- Can We Predict IPSS Scores With Voiding Performance On
Home-Based Uroflowmetry Data Using A Smartphone Application?

registrants. Fill out the registration form on the website to be
