The benefits of artificial intelligence are obvious. For example, in the field of medical health, human experts need to spend years researching and correcting errors in order to come up with a method for diagnosing diseases based on various factors, but for artificial intelligence it may only be a few minutes. thing.
Google has achieved a lot in the field of medical AI, such as using AI to diagnose cardiovascular disease, fundus disease and acute kidney injury. Nowadays, the old technology giant, Microsoft has joined the ranks.
Recently, Microsoft and Apollo Hospital issued a joint statement, indicating that the two sides will form a strategic alliance, jointly design a new machine learning algorithm to predict the risk of heart disease, and assist doctors to quickly find relevant treatment methods.
"Our collaboration with Apollo Hospital combines our expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning with Apollo's expertise and experience in heart disease," said Peter Lee, vice president of the Microsoft Artificial Intelligence Research Center.
He also pointed out that the combination of artificial intelligence and medical health systems is to better empower medical workers and promote the spread of artificial intelligence. This process is solution-oriented and reduces the burden of disease on humans through more intuitive, fast and effective diagnostic methods.
Microsoft said in a blog that the two sides are currently developing an artificial intelligence API for determining heart health. However, there is no statement in the blog that this API is unique to Apollo Hospital and will be open to other medical practitioners in the country.
In India, cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in patients, and mortality from heart disease is 0.235% higher than the global average (as of 2016). The situation is even more severe for patients with early-onset disease. Apollo Hospital has a large number of clinical history data for heart patients, and they plan to use these data and advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence to predict and prevent heart disease. Sangita Reddy, co-general manager of Apollo Hospital, said that they will gradually establish a “global alliance†to make their research benefit patients in other countries.
Lei Feng.com understands that in addition to cooperation with Apollo Hospital, Microsoft recently announced the launch of Microsoft Genomics service. By utilizing and processing genetic data, Microsoft Genomics services help medical researchers invent drugs that more accurately treat diseases such as cancer. For example, by analyzing patient health and tumor cell tissue and other patient medical data (including treatments and outcomes), doctors can choose the most effective treatment.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Microsoft and DNAnexus (a genetic data management platform operating on Azure) have collaborated to develop a set of genome alignment and genetic variant identification processes based on shared genetic data and Microsoft Genomics services. Based on this process, the collaborators have processed more than 500TB of genetic data and stored it in Azure for analysis. These data analysis results provide a good foundation for data sharing platforms that research hospitals, DNAnexus, and Microsoft are working together.
According to Lei Feng.com (Public No.: Lei Feng), Microsoft Genomics is part of Microsoft Healthcare NExT, a Microsoft-sponsored innovation that accelerates the health care industry through artificial intelligence and cloud computing. With a large amount of accurate medical data, Microsoft hopes to help researchers find ways to treat diseases such as cancer faster through AI tools deployed on the cloud. A common process for processing genetic data can effectively reduce artifacts and noise that may affect the data, and contribute to precision medical care driven by AI.
Currently, Microsoft Genomics has served users in the US, Western Europe and Southeast Asia.
