Some interesting links on AI in healthcare/products that help improve our lives [Summary of each TBA]


  •  Medication adherence : "AiCure uses mobile technology and facial recognition to determine if the right person is taken the given drug at the right time."
  • Healthy behavior: "Welltok tapped IBM's Watson superbrain to support its vision of connecting consumers with personalized activities.
  • Support care givers: "Automated Insights put its natural language generation platform Wordsmith to work in a collaboration with Great Call"
  • Drug development: "Biotech companies are also combining artificial intelligence and big data to identify new drug compounds, such as Cloud Pharmaceuticals and Berg. Johnson&Johnson and Sanofi are using Watson to find new targets for FDA approved drugs.
Intel Boosts Vision-based Contextual Computing With New Products
  • Intel is using Convolutional Neural Network (CNNs) that mimics the biologic structure of human sight and use relatively little pre-processing compared to other image classification algorithms in their applications to help create a faster, and more accurate vision processing that can improve multiple business cases (drones, augmented reality, security and surveillance as well as robotics).
  • The CNN network also have characteristics of filters that is in traditional algorithms that previously had to be designed by data scientists.

  • Singapore's first hospital to adopt the widespread uses of technology
  • Electronic wristbands similar to smart watches: will be used by nurses to monitor patients' conditions in the hospital and after the patient return home.
  • The hospital aims to have features that : provide patients with the ability to track their schedule, and built-in sensors to conduct real-time monitoring of patients' heartbeat and sleep patterns.
  • Robotics: food services, housekeeping and "central sterile supplies unit to free up more time for staff to attend to the personal needs of patients."
  • Published last Tuesday October 17th,2017,  researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a model that uses artificial intelligence to improve early breast cancer detection. It is said that the model could reduce false positives and unnecessary surgeries.
  • "IBM plans to make a 10-year, $240 million investment to create the MIT–IBM Watson AI Lab in partnership with MIT. The lab will carry out fundamental artificial intelligence (AI) research and seek to propel scientific breakthroughs that unlock the potential of AI. The collaboration aims to advance AI hardware, software, and algorithms related to deep learning and other areas; increase AI’s impact on industries, such as health care and cybersecurity; and explore the economic and ethical implications of AI on society. IBM’s $240 million investment in the lab will support research by IBM and MIT scientists."
  • Joint research to push the boundaries in AI science and technology in several areas, including: AI algorithms, physics of AI, application of AI to industries, and advancing shared prosperity through AI
