  • Treatment and Differential Diagnosis Insights for the Physician's

    Treatment and Differential Diagnosis Insights for the Physician's

    Treatment and differential diagnosis insights for the physician’s consideration in the moments that matter most The role of medical imaging in global health systems is literally fundamental. Like labs, medical images are used at one point or another in almost every high cost, high value episode of care. Echocardiograms, CT scans, mammograms, and x-rays, for example, “atlas” the body and help chart a course forward for a patient’s care team. Imaging precision has improved as a result of technological advancements and breakthroughs in related medical research. Those advancements also bring with them exponential growth in medical imaging data. The capabilities referenced throughout this document are in the research and development phase and are not available for any use, commercial or non-commercial. Any statements and claims related to the capabilities referenced are aspirational only. There were roughly 800 million multi-slice exams performed in the United States in 2015 alone. Those studies generated approximately 60 billion medical images. At those volumes, each of the roughly 31,000 radiologists in the U.S. would have to view an image every two seconds of every working day for an entire year in order to extract potentially life-saving information from a handful of images hidden in a sea of data. 31K 800MM 60B radiologists exams medical images What’s worse, medical images remain largely disconnected from the rest of the relevant data (lab results, patient-similar cases, medical research) inside medical records (and beyond them), making it difficult for physicians to place medical imaging in the context of patient histories that may unlock clues to previously unconsidered treatment pathways.

As per IDC's Artificial Intelligence Global Adoption Trends and Strategies Survey of 2,473 organizations of various sizes across industries worldwide by those that are using artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, either developing them in-house, using COTS, or a combination of both: 18% had AI models in production, 16% were in the proof-of-concept (POC) stage, and 15% were experimenting with AI. While automation, business agility, and customer satisfaction are the primary drivers for AI initiatives, cost of the solution, lack of skilled personnel, and bias in data have held organizations from implementing AI broadly. In the past 12 months, organizations worldwide have used AI in IT operations, customer service and support, finance and accounting, and ecommerce with major redesign to their business processes to maximize the ROI of AI.
