A Well Thought-out and Developed AI Ecosystem is Crucial for Innovation in Healthcare

February 25, 2021

GE Healthcare
Sponsored Content The healthcare industry recognizes that a main challenge in realizing a “deep learning” and a “data driven” health-care system is the integration and execution of multiple algorithms and applications seamlessly into clinical workflows where care-teams, diagnostic physicians and health researchers do their work. A healthcare-dedicated AI ecosystem should be designed to address the four major forces affecting healthcare today: cost, quality, access, and patient & provider experience. There are solutions out there now that allow clinicians to address those forces by embedding AI into devices and applications to improve consistency, support more accurate measurements and make healthcare more precise.

Artificial Intelligence is Advancing Radiology in Canada

July 23, 2018

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly gaining momentum within Canadian healthcare, specifically in the field of medical imaging. Although in the research phase, AI in radiology is of growing interest to the medical community and to patients across the country.
A recent poll conducted by Nanos revealed that an overwhelming 83% of Canadians would support research in the use of AI in radiology in Canada. Working in collaboration with a panel of experts, the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) is taking a leadership position in AI and has written a White Paper, which describes ways in which this technology may be used to improve the delivery of patient care and overall population health...more.
