Google Allies With Apollo Radiology International: Harnessing AI Proficiency For Prompt Disease Detection

Hello, Everyone!

Today modern healthcare is reaching new heights with a powerful and meaningful alliance of technology and healthcare. The significant synergy between the two realms is harnessed for optimum health benefits of people globally. In today's world diseases are getting more complicated to detect and cure and are increasing in multitudes, this situation has become globally concerning and needs a powerful sought-after solution.

Resonating with this thought Google has allied with Apollo Radiology International to harness cutting-edge AI technology for prompt disease detection in people of diseases like tuberculosis(TB), lung cancer, and breast Cancer.

So let's delve deeper into the insights of this impactful partnership.

Let us understand how AI will be a breakthrough in the early identification of illnesses.

-> AI enhances timely disease detection:

Apollo Radiology International is poised to take its healthcare for people to a whole new level by positioning Google's AI models envisioned for enhanced healthcare results for the Indian diaspora with diseases like tuberculosis(TB), lung cancer, and breast cancer.

X-RAY SCREENING FOR TIMELY DISEASE DETECTION

Over 10 years free screenings of these diseases will be offered showcasing Apollo International's progressive take on harnessing pioneering AI technology for inclusive healthcare centering on ensuring improved and universal access to high-quality healthcare services globally.

It is hoped that AI will be a breakthrough in the Radiology realm where specialization in this realm plays a pivotal role in timely identifying the illness of the diseased.

Now let us understand how AI will aid in the early identification of fatal ailments.

-> AI will aid in the early identification of fatal ailments like tuberculosis, lung cancer, and breast cancer:

Tuberculosis(TB): Regardless of being medicated and cured it is shocking that about 10 million people become ill with this disease annually with unfortunately more than 1.3 million people losing their precious lives due to this disease, specifically people from South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa at high frequency.

Delay in addressing this disease leads to the transmission of this among other people and it progresses to the extent of being life-threatening. For a catch-hold of this disease, Chest X-rays are frequently utilized screening method. However, there is a scarcity of skilled radiologists to analyze images extensively. The rural areas lack in availability of tests to identify TB due to death in hospitals and healthcare facilities which makes them vulnerable to the worsening of this health issue.

To combat this challenge Google has engineered an AI system to analyze chest X-ray scans for preliminary symptoms of TB.

Chest X-ray for analyzing preliminary symptoms of TB

Lung Cancer: Lung cancer accounts for one of the main contributors to deaths owing to cancer in India. Early disease detection can help save hundreds of thousands of lives but unfortunately, there is no centralized screening initiative for more susceptible people which makes them vulnerable to greater disease progress.

Lung cancer can also come up coincidently while patients get screened for some other symptom or reason. Nevertheless, there is a need for skilled radiologists to timely analyze unexpectedly discovered abnormal growths or masses while evaluating other conditions, referred to as incidental nodules, and possess time to manage them.

In this scenario, AI comes to the rescue. It not only aids in extensive accessibility of the screening but also aids in the identification of incidental nodules what we say for unexpectedly discovered growths or masses and regularly addressing them.

Breast Cancer: Breast cancer too is the biggest culprit of deaths in high frequency in India leading to India suffering from a mortality rate of threefold higher than the US.

Due to the shortage of skilled radiologists for analyzing breast cancer and also due to the lack of extensive access to screenings, Indian people suffer a lot.

It is hoped that AI will greatly aid radiologists in analyzing mammograms to implement extensive screening initiatives across India, referred to as "scale screening".

Let's ponder over the future impact of AI on the screening processes. AI technology leverages cutting-edge algorithms for examining data from wide sources including medical records, imaging scans, and genetic information to recognize patterns and detect timely the dangers and symptoms of the disease.

Thus AI will enhance the screening process greatly:

->Google integrated with Apollo Radiology International a few years back to authenticate AI systems in areas or regions where they are needed the most.

->Presently Google continues to cooperate with Apollo Radiology International, as Apollo is heading to obtain authorization for making these AI models accessible to the populace across India.

->To aid hundreds and thousands more of the Indian populace, Apollo International will be leveraging these AI models to deliver 3 million AI-enhanced free screenings to people for diseases like tuberculosis(TB), lung cancer, and breast cancer.

Thank You.
