Machine learning reveals two main Parkinson’s types and five subgroups

A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that Parkinson’s disease can be divided into distinct subtypes, helping explain why a single treatment does not work for all patients. Using a machine-learning-driven analysis, the team identified two main groups and five subgroups of the disease, marking an important step toward more personalized therapies. The findings are published in Nature Communications.

New AI-powered robotic system performs heart ultrasounds without guidance

A Concordia-led team of researchers has developed a new AI-driven robotic system that can perform cardiac ultrasound scans autonomously. The researchers say this approach could expand access to cardiac imaging in remote or underserved areas, reduce operator fatigue, and standardize scan quality. The work is published in the journal IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics.
