Nurses + AI = Reduced Death Risk |
An AI tool called the CONCERN Early Warning System detects early signs of patient decline before vital signs change by analyzing nurses’ EHR documentation. By highlighting subtle cues nurses observe, CONCERN generates hourly risk scores to guide timely interventions, detecting deterioration two days earlier and reducing risk of death by 35%. Check
out the study to learn the nurse-AI combo’s effects on hospital stay, sepsis risk, and ICU transfer rates.

STD Lab Shuttered |
The CDC has shut down its premier STD lab despite rising global concern over drug-resistant gonorrhea (only one reliable treatment remains). The lab processed and analyzed some 12,000 samples a year, playing a vital role in monitoring resistance, guiding treatment, and supporting clinicians. The closure leaves the US “blind” to resistance trends, just as new drugs and prevention strategies like doxycycline PEP are emerging. The move also threatens four decades of progress made in HIV prevention, surveillance, and treatment.
