Global Market for Machine Learning to Surpass USD 2 Billion by 2023

The global market for machine learning in medical imaging is expected to record a robust growth and surpass USD 2 billion by 2023, driven by benefits such as enhanced productivity, increased diagnostic accuracy, more personalized treatment planning and improved clinical outcomes. However, the market is still in the innovator and early adopter phase, and will need to overcome several barriers before AI becomes mainstream in medical imaging. These are the latest findings of Signify Research, an independent supplier of market intelligence and consultancy to the global healthcare technology industry. More...

Machine-Learning Algorithm Analyzes Images to Identify Schizophrenia Patients

A team of researchers from the University of Alberta has developed a machine-learning algorithm to examine functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) images for identifying patients suffering from schizophrenia and ascertaining if they would respond to treatment. In a study, the algorithm examined MRI images of both newly diagnosed, previously untreated schizophrenia patients and healthy subjects and successfully identified patients with schizophrenia at 78% accuracy. It also predicted whether or not a patient would respond positively to a specific antipsychotic treatment named risperidone with 82% accuracy. More...

New AI Software Could Reduce Patient Time at Hospitals

Canadian researchers have developed an innovative "virtual assistant" — an Artificial Intelligence (AI) health monitoring solution for an existing secure health monitoring platform — to help patients, their healthcare providers, and caregivers remotely manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure. The virtual assistant, developed by the National Research Council of Canada and Greybox Solutions Inc. aims to reduce the considerable time spent in hospitals and healthcare centers by millions of Canadians affected by chronic illnesses.

Researchers Use AI to Improve Mammogram Interpretation

A team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory successfully used artificial intelligence to improve understanding of the cognitive processes involved in image interpretation. Their work, which was published in the Journal of Medical Imaging, will help reduce errors in the analyses of diagnostic images by health professionals and has the potential to improve health outcomes for women affected by breast cancer.
