Description
Perhaps the most imposing global healthcare challenge today is delivering quality healthcare over the last mile to at-risk populations in developing countries, which remains elusive due to lack of technology, infrastructure, and trained healthcare professionals. Bringing the power of AI to POC can bridge that last mile by providing inexpensive, swift, and accurate diagnoses. AI technology for POC is reaching an inflection point, now able to parse complex medical language and link natural language processing (NLP)-labeled findings to specific abnormalities and pattern recognition in medical scans.
Prashant Warier shares gripping success stories of leveraging deep learning and revolutionizing diagnostics at POC, including a project where an automated chest X-ray interpretation process was deployed in the Philippines to screen for tuberculosis. You’ll discover critical factors that must be in place for this diagnostics revolution to become reality, like the ability to screen for multiple abnormalities simultaneously, and you’ll understand the regulatory and clinical workflow challenges that threaten its further development. Prashant explores into the future of medical imaging, detailing deep learning’s potential to revolutionize healthcare through advances like AI-powered handheld ultrasound machines and fully integrated mobile vans for lung health.
