A novel AI product developed by Pangaea Data has been shown to be effective in the pharmaceutical sector, providing clinicians and researchers with valuable clinical narratives. Pangaea’s Intelligence Extractor and Summarisation (PIES) was showcased recently at the Bio-IT World Conference and Expo. A senior principal data scientist from a global pharmaceutical company demonstrated how PIES’s [...]
In October 2019, Google announced that its scientists had achieved quantum supremacy. The tech giant’s quantum computer had carried out a calculation that was beyond the capabilities of classical computing. Google estimated that the same calculation would take the best classical supercomputer 10,000 years to complete. The announcement elevated quantum-powered healthcare from the realms of [...]
Scientists have trained an AI neural network to detect anomalies in medical images to assist physicians in sifting through countless scans in search of pathologies. Image anomaly detection is a task that comes up in data analysis in many industries. Medical scans, however, pose a particular challenge. It is way easier for algorithms to find, say, a car with [...]
Clinithink’s advanced AI diagnostics technology has enabled clinicians at Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine, a world leader in the field of genomics, to perform the deep phenotyping of a critically ill five-week-old baby with an unknown condition within minutes to help identify his rare genetic disorder. A five-week old baby with a potentially [...]
An innovative teleradiology firm is aiming to deal with the worsening shortage of radiologists, amid an increasing demand for scans. Health Tech World spoke to Farzana Rahman, CEO of Hexarad, to find out more. An aging population, the Covid-19 pandemic and workforce shortages have led to a growing backlog in NHS radiology departments and, ultimately, [...]
In the UK, the NHS radiology workforce is chronically understaffed, with a shortfall of around 33 per cent – and the issue is getting worse. In fact, by 2025, the Royal College of Radiologists estimates that the shortfall will reach 44 per cent – with 3,600 new radiologists needed. Put simply, while demand for diagnostics [...]
A new AI tool has been created to help prevent vascular access thrombosis – a major factor in increased suffering and mortality in kidney disease patients requiring haemodialysis. Renal care provider Diaverum has developed an AI model to support the company’s physicians and nurses predict with a high degree of accuracy, episodes of vascular access [...]
