The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi recently unveiled its new AI solution that helps in early detection of cancer.
Developed in collaboration with the Center for Development of Advanced Computing, Pune under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the AI system runs on deep learning models that can analyze complex medical data with “unprecedented accuracy and efficiency”. It was trained using a dataset of 500,000 radiological and histopathological images from 1,500 cases of breast and ovarian cancer, the two most common types of cancer.
It is now being used by the Gynecology department to validate cases of breast and ovarian cancer. AIIMS has made the AI solution available to cancer hospitals and research centers for implementation, with implementation already underway five undisclosed district hospitals.
The Department of Neurology Aster CMI Hospital has created an AI tool for screening carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
The AI diagnostic solution can identify the median nerve in ultrasound videos and detect CTS with 95% accuracy, the hospital said in a statement.
Headquarters in Singapore Qritief was recently signed by three diagnostic centers and hospitals in India to deliver AI-driven pathology management solutions.
According to a press release Metropolis Healthcare, Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, And CŌRE diagnostics will adopt Qritive’s Pantheon image management system and AI solutions as part of their respective pathology modernization strategies.
“The integration of Qritive’s AI-powered platform into our workflows represents a revolutionary step in improving precision, timeliness and personalized diagnosis,” said Surendran Chemmenkottil, CEO of Metropolis Healthcare.
“This collaboration will strengthen our diagnostic precision, resulting in improved patient outcomes, and reaffirm our commitment to delivering excellence in clinical care. The collaboration also has the potential to lead to the development of new AI services for the diagnosis of rare diseases,” said Dinesh Chauhan, CEO of CŌRE Diagnostics.
“With efficient identification of the areas of interest and accurate assessment, the integration of these tools has improved our workflow and diagnostic accuracy, providing significant benefits to our practice,” said Dr. Gurudutt Gupta, Head of Pathology Department at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute Research Centre, also spoke about their adoption of Qritive’s technology.
Amrita Hospital in Faridabab announced that the head of the Department of Radiotherapy has received a grant from the government to develop a robot-assisted ultrasound system for image-guided therapies and hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer.
Explaining his project, which has received support from the Indian Council of Medical Research, Dr. Bhaskar Viswanathan: “It is a non-invasive technique that uses focused ultrasound waves and has enormous potential in the treatment of cancer, such as tumor ablation, mild hyperthermia for radiotherapy. and chemotherapy, and exercise management during radiation.”
“This advanced technology enables precise localization of lesions, enabling targeted and effective delivery of therapeutic radiation and preventing damage to surrounding tissue and organs,” he added.
Dr. Viswanathan will also collaborate with the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad and Eranki Labs during these three years Pproject.
Ambulance service Medulance has launched what could be the first 5G-enabled medical facility offering for businesses.
The Smart Medical Room, launched at a headquarters in Gurgaon, city southwest of the Indian capital New Delhi, features diagnostic tools, telemedicine capabilities and real-time monitoring systems. By enabling rapid communication and data transfer, emergency response times are reduced to “less than 4 minutes,” the company said in a statement.
“(W)e not only covering basic parameters in the medical room such as CPR or Basic Life Support (but) we are also going to provide teleconferences with the doctor from this medical room and we will ensure that they can see the vital signs of the patient remotely – this means that blood pressure, sugar levels and ECGs can be shown to a doctor simultaneously while the patient is en route to a hospital,” Medulance co-founder Pranav Bajaj further explains.
