PolyU develops Hong Kong’s first AI agent and risk prediction model for precision diabetes management, with patient recruitment in New Territories West starting in early July

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has successfully developed Hong Kong’s first “AI Agent for Precision Diabetes Management – PIPE-AI” (AI Agent), designed specifically for Asian populations, together with a related disease risk prediction model. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and large-scale local electronic health data, the system can more accurately predict the risk of deterioration of complications such as chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes over the next 10 years, enabling healthcare professionals and patients to intervene early and improve disease management. The research findings have been published in the leading international journal npj Digital Medicine.

Study demonstrates that damage caused by a myocardial infarction may extend to remote regions of the ventricle

Universitat Politècnica de València

A study conducted by the INCLIVA Health Research Institute, the Clinical University Hospital of València, the University of Valencia (UV), the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), the Cardiac Imaging Unit of Ascires Biomédico Group, and the Ascires-UPV Joint Research Unit provides significant evidence in the field of advanced cardiac imaging and clinical cardiology. It shows that the damage resulting from a myocardial infarction is not confined solely to the affected area, but may also functionally extend to remote regions of the ventricle. Identifying this dysfunction could have important implications, including improved prognostic assessment of patients, earlier detection of cardiac deterioration before symptoms or more evident changes appear, and the implementation of earlier and more personalised therapeutic strategies.

Bridging traditional medicine with modern technology: “Omics”-guided herbal pharmacovigilance for integrative liver health

Xia & He Publishing Inc.

Traditional herbal medicines (THMs) are widely used globally, but herb‑induced liver injury (HILI) remains underreported and poorly understood. Current pharmacovigilance systems fail to address product heterogeneity, nomenclature confusion, and regulatory gaps. This review proposes an integrated framework combining "omics" (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) with artificial intelligence (AI) to transform herbal safety into a personalized, evidence‑based system. By identifying genetic susceptibilities, metabolic biomarkers, and phytochemical fingerprints, this approach enables risk stratification, early signal detection, and improved causality assessment, bridging traditional practice with modern precision medicine.

Is the decline of newspapers taking the pressure off of corporate social responsibility programs? New research says ‘yes’

Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences

Local newspapers have long played a quiet but powerful role in corporate accountability: they scrutinize company behavior and give public visibility to good corporate citizenship. But as local newspapers continue to disappear, that accountability system weakens—and companies change how they approach corporate social responsibility (CSR).

AI-guided outreach increased cancer screenings and reduced mortality, new study finds

Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences

A machine learning program that identified patients overdue for colorectal cancer screening helped increase screening rates and was associated with significantly lower mortality, according to new research published in the INFORMS journal Manufacturing & Service Operations Management.

New research finds accelerators amplify existing founder advantages rather than equalizing entrepreneurial opportunity

Strategic Management Society

A new paper published in Strategic Management Journal finds that startup accelerators do not level the entrepreneurial playing field, they amplify it. The study, “Founders’ Pre-Entry Knowledge and the Heterogeneous Returns to Accelerator Participation,” by Melody H. Chang and Valentina A. Assenova, shows that founders with deeper prior knowledge gain disproportionately more from accelerator participation, while novice founders see more modest benefits. Drawing on data from 6,723 startups across 281 accelerators in 147 countries, the authors find that accelerators “push up the ceiling” of performance for already capable teams without necessarily “pulling up the floor” for others.
