- The Power of Opportunistic Detection using AI: Qure.ai

AI Showcase, South Hall, Level 3IW4-AI104
Course Description:
Every day, millions of imaging scans are ordered by physicians to get more information about a particular condition they are suspecting or treating in patients. Due to hectic schedules and ever-increasing scan volumes & workload, most practices tend to focus on abnormalities that the exam was ordered for rather than comprehensive findings that may appear on the scan.
There is a higher likelihood of many incidental discoveries going unnoticed, thus delaying diagnosis & preventing patients from getting timely intervention. Overlooking these, probably subtle but crucial imaging irregularities, are the leading causes of under-diagnosis and misdiagnosis in our current healthcare systems.
Using advanced technology like artificial intelligence (AI) helps detect some of these common but often missed findings, irrespective of the nature of the test ordered. AI-enabled opportunistic detection helps in meaningful early intervention by getting more patients on the treatment pathway sooner for life threatening diseases such as heart failure, lung cancer, COPD and many more. Eventually leading to better patient outcomes and also lowering downstream costs of treatment.
Billions of scans are acquired each year for various medical reasons and as part of routine check-ups. Imagine the potential if every radiology exam ordered could be surveilled using AI in under minutes and scans indicative of risk for different disease can be flagged for further action. Apart from giving the healthcare practices an added layer of confidence, it provides the patient with a two step-check for early intervention- in other words, a safety net.
Qure.ai is a health-tech firm that uses AI to screen radiology images for any sort of abnormality, so that there are no misses or under reporting. Qure’s technology provides physicians an added layer of confidence augmenting their interpretations.Session TypesTopicsContent Type
