Researchers have been developing new ways to train machine learning algorithms with fewer labels. By first training a machine learning model to fill in the blanks of large-scale unlabeled bio-signal data, the machine learning model is primed to learn the relationship between a bio-signal and a disorder with fewer labels.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson says GOP leaders are 'committed to finding at least $1.5 trillion in savings for the American people' and promised to 'aim much higher' in finding government programs to cut.

Houston Healthcare's plans to merge with Emory Healthcare continued on Thursday as the Georgia Attorney General's office held a public hearing at Central Georgia Technical College to review the proposed transaction.

A temporary lifeline was thrown to Crozer Health in a Texas bankruptcy hearing Thursday in the form of a $6 million donation. The short-term funding to cover hospital payroll is coming from a $5 million donation from Penn Medicine and another $1 million donation from Delaware County.

Mount Sinai Beth Israel hospital, which has served the Manhattan community for 135 years, permanently closed its doors at 8 a.m. Wednesday.

Mount Sinai said it was pleased with the ruling, adding that it would move forward with its closure plan immediately.
Mayo Clinic has hired Micky Tripathi, a former top health technology official under President Biden, to be its chief AI implementation officer, a role that involves overseeing the technology's development and adoption within the sprawling health system.

He led the government's efforts to establish guardrails for use of AI by federal health agencies and private businesses.
