Enhancing AND CANCER COSTS
However, major care centers in Asia have begun using AI-powered medical tools to help detect tuberculosis and lung cancer.
The use of AI-aided neck X-rays may help identify people with cautious heart markers and help their recommendation to ensure a diagnosis, according to Madam Sylvia Varela, vice-president of AstraZeneca, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology company behind for tools.
To enable algorithms to perceive imaging images, AI technology is integrated with convenient X-ray systems.
In order to save time, money, and resources for the healthcare system, she told CNA,” This technology can help doctors identify heart nodules in less than a second and manage the diagnosis and localization of up to 29 tumor markers, including those indicating possible lung cancer.”  ,
She said that since the start of the project, over 2.5 million images have been performed worldwide, with more than 1.5 million images coming from Asia, particularly in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.  ,
According to estimates from their recently launched Saving Life from Lung Cancer system, she said that based on data from seven geographies, including Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand, early testing programs and proper treatment could improve the patient’s five-year survival rate by 73 % in the first year of use.  ,
Integrating AI into existing lung monitoring programs can help identify and possibly distinguish between different respiratory illnesses such as tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder ( COPD), asthma, and heart cancer more effectively, according to Mdm Varela, who is based in Singapore.
” For instance, patients with lung cancer are sometimes misdiagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. With the aid of AI-powered screening tools, patients can get the right diagnosis at a later stage of the disease, potentially turning lung cancer from a fatal condition to a treatable one, she said.
Lung cancer is the most fatal cancer worldwide, according to Mdm Varela, who recently surpassed breast cancer in incidence.  ,
AI has also entered some nations ‘ efforts to combat declining fertility rates.  ,
During the in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) process, the Virtus Fertility Centre Singapore (VFCS) claims that the embryo selection process is performed 10 times faster than the embryologist.
In a press release released on August 13, VFCS scientific director Dr. Liow Swee Lian stated that during an IVF cycle, embryos are grown in an incubator with time-lapse cameras to monitor them non-invasively throughout the five days of incubation.
” Traditionally, embryologists use a standard grading system to assess the appearance of each embryo under a microscope.  ,
The AI-based software now uses time-lapse imaging data that is collected every ten minutes to identify the embryos with the best chance of developing a foetal heart by giving each embryo an embryo score.
The embryologist then chooses the embryo with the highest grade and transfers it to a new embryo.
