Inteligência Artificial em Saúde em 2026: o que é possível e o que será necessário para lá chegar

By |2026-02-09T10:06:27+00:00February 9th, 2026|

Os sistemas de saúde estão cada vez mais sob pressão, desde a escassez de profissionais até aos tempos de espera mais longos e ao excesso de carga administrativa. Neste contexto, a Inteligência Artificial surge como uma ferramenta prática para apoiar os profissionais, melhorar os cuidados aos doentes e ajudar os sistemas a gerir a crescente procura. Em 2026, o foco já não é se a IA vai transformar a saúde, mas como poderá fazê-lo à escala.

iSTARS ERA Chair João Guimarães Contributes to Study on the Effects of Low-Dose Radiation on Metastasis

A new study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences has investigated how low doses of ionizing radiation, that can affect tissues and organs near a tumour during cancer treatment, may influence the formation of pre-metastatic niches in the lungs. This process involves changes in the lung tissue that make it more receptive to disseminated breast cancer cells settling and growing there later on – forming metastasis.
