Qi Sun's DrayEasy platform exemplifies a significant advancement in logistics, merging quoting, booking, and real-time tracking into a seamless automated experience for shippers.

VOID stands for Video Object and Interaction Deletion. It's a VLM (vision-language model) that can not only erase objects from a scene but can also inpaint how remaining objects in the scene should behave without the influence of whatever was excised.

Google's new health tracker, teased by Steph Curry, features a Whoop-inspired design and will include a subscription service with an AI-based personal health coach.

Body agency is a power returned after an incident took it away from the user's physical form, and some wearable devices and technologies have this exact goal in mind.

AI plays an important role-but not by fixing fragmented data on its own. The work of organizing, connecting, and interpreting healthcare information still belongs to people and the systems they build. Where AI helps is after that foundation is in place: by bringing the right information forward at the right time, reducing the effort it takes to find what matters, and supporting better decisions in the moment of care.

The feature, unveiled on Wednesday, creates a separate space within ChatGPT for health questions and discussions, where users can collect data from their connected health apps such as fitness apps and store their health files. Users can also connect to their electronic medical records through a partnership with b.well, OpenAI says. ChatGPT, then, does not have a direct integration with the MyChart patient records app from Epic, for example, but lets individual users make requests for their patient record data through integrations built by b.well.

OpenAI is launching a new facet for its AI chatbot called ChatGPT Health. This new feature will allow users to connect medical records and wellness apps to ChatGPT in order to get more tailored responses to queries about their health. The company noted that there will be additional privacy safeguards for this separate space within ChatGPT, and said that it will not use conversations held in Health for training foundational models. ChatGPT Health is currently in a testing stage, and there are some regional restrictions on which health apps can be connected to the AI company's platform.

My dad was in the emergency room, short of breath, chest tight, upper back aching. He looked pale and confused. An ultrasound showed excess fluid between his lung and chest wall. "We'll drain it," a resident said, as if he were unclogging a sink. For the next five days, thick, red-tinged fluid filled a plastic container beside my dad's hospital bed. Doctors sent his cells for "staining," a way to identify cancer. But no one used that word.

CES 2026 is here. While the official event begins Tuesday, ZDNET's team of experts has already gotten an early look at some of the most exciting tech stories coming out of Las Vegas.

The world of medical practice management is changing faster than ever, driven by two simultaneous forces: escalating patient expectations and crushing administrative complexity. In my years working with healthcare organizations, I've seen these challenges evolve from nuisances into crises. Research by Bain & Company found that 65% of healthcare consumers want more convenient experiences, and 70% want more responsiveness from providers. They want instant answers to routine questions, immediate scheduling access and minimal friction.
