IntroductionA classroom assignment that begins with 3-D-printed plastic parts and a few servo motors is now walking hospital hallways—and melting hearts. Stanford University’s “Pupper” robots, built by CS 123 students, aren’t just engineering eye-candy; they’re proving that AI-powered robo-dogs can deliver many of the same therapeutic benefits as live animals,

Accurately predicting how a patient will recover from a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) has long been a moving target. Traditional tools like the Glasgow Coma Scale offer a broad view, but often fall short when it comes to precise, individualized predictions. That’s where artificial intelligence is starting

A New Way to Navigate Health Records Imagine if doctors could simply ask, “Has this patient had any allergic reactions?” and instantly get an answer. That’s now a reality at Stanford Health Care, thanks to a new AI tool called ChatEHR. Developed by Stanford Medicine, ChatEHR allows clinicians to interact

A Crisis in the Making By 2050, nearly half the world’s population could be living with diabetes or insulin resistance. That startling prediction isn’t science fiction—it’s a reality health experts are bracing for. But this isn’t just a health story; it’s a call to action. With metabolic disorders rising at
