EL PAIS: CERN trains AI models to revolutionize cancer treatment. “One of the applications based on this system is Truckstroke, which is already improving stroke treatment with artificial intelligence in around 10,000 patients in hospitals in Germany and Belgium and in the Vall d’Hebron Stroke Unit in Barcelona.”….. “For the moment, explains Serio, it has been used for tumors or strokes, but CERN also plans to use this system to monitor the evolution of Alzheimer’s or dementia.” Comment: Breast cancer detected by BreastCheck 2017, now a cancer survivor I had by year follow-up mammogram today. The system in Ireland is much criticised but I have to say I have found the service excellent. It is a pity that Ireland is not more visionary because, I may be wrong, but we are not members of CERN. I think they offered us a reduced amount to join. Read below and it is enlightening in regard to health and our future.

El Pais: CERN trains AI models to revolutionize cancer treatment. …”By comparing images of the brain of a stroke patient with models trained by CERN in the so-called Truststroke Project, the algorithm predicts how the patient might evolve, what therapy should be administered and the follow-up required. Most importantly, the tool predicts the risk of recurrence…”

GZERO: Fascinating … AI assistants and the impact on how doctors relate to their patients. This is need to know for Government Departments of Health. The reality is that too much bureaucracy is strangling the efficient potential of proper medical care and this includes radiology and other tentacles of medicine too. Eric Topol is mentioned … I have to say his book “The Patient will see you now” is excellent and sits on my desk.

In this episode of GZERO AI, Taylor Owen, host of the Machines Like Us podcast, explores the rather surprising role artificial intelligence could play in the healthcare industry’s efforts to reconnect with humanity. Doctors have become busier and are spending … Continue reading
