AI Medicine News
AI Medicine News follows the developments that can change clinical practice, procurement, or oversight. Each story separates the announcement from the evidence, explains what it may mean inside a real healthcare workflow, and names what still needs to be verified.
Vendor news belongs here when it reveals a deployment, product change, evidence claim, regulatory milestone, or implementation lesson. Funding and promotion alone are not enough.
