AI in Health launches a Statistical Power Analyzer (SPA)

The UMSN AI in Health Initiative released a new SOCR Statistical Power Analyzer (SPA), a tool for calculating statistical power, sample size, effect size, and significance level. The key SPA advantage is the direct, holistic, and efficient exploration of concepts and relationships between a wide range of relevant parameters. The SPA provides a rigorous framework to help researchers determine the sample size needed to detect an effect of a given size with a specified level of confidence. The SPA provides full control over the 5 power-analysis components -- selection of a specific statistical test, sample size, effect size, significance level (α), and power (1-β).

AI-supported Clinical Imaging Decision Support System

Image
In November 2025, a team of students, researchers, and faculty at  UMSN  and SOCR  developed, tested, and deployed a new sophisticated Clinical Imaging Decision Support System composed of two parts: A generation-3 Augmented Intelligent Agent (AIA-gen-3) , which supports RAG AI-responses via custom-training and tuning pre-trained GAIMs and LLMs , and A generation-4 CLNQ , which facilitates highly accurate AI autonomous responses contextualized according to specific transfer-learning knowledge-bases.  Driven by prompts from patients, clinicians, trainees, and other stakeholders, both AI systems are tested in describing, diagnosing, predicting treatment outcomes of simple ophthalmological images. These AI Clinical Decision Support Systems ( AIA-gen-3  and  CLNQ-gen-4 ) can be invoked in any modern browser. The AIA-3 sessions are virtual, confined to the browser tab, and no information is exposed to external AI API services. The CLNQ-4 also optionally ...

SPA: The First GAIM-supported Augmented Intelligence Scientific Writing & Reviewing Assistant, SOCR Proposal Assistant (SPA)

Image
At the start of 2026, SOCR and the AI in Health Initiative released the first GAIM-supported augmented intelligence agent supporting creative writing, manuscript preparation/review, and grant proposal writing and reviewing , the SOCR Proposal Assistant (SPA) . The Manuscript/Proposal Assistant is a comprehensive AI-aided web application designed to transform the traditionally arduous and unstructured processes of paper, grant, and report writing or reviewing into a streamlined, intelligent, and systematic workflow. SPA serves as a strategic partner for researchers and institutions, guiding academic scholars and clinicians from the initial analysis of a funding call through to the final polished proposal/manuscript submissions. By integrating advanced language models in a structured pipeline, the tool moves beyond simple text generation to provide deep strategic analysis, creative solutions, and rigorous compliance checking, effectively acting as both a project manager and a writin...
