Summary of article from Fierce Healthcare, by Heather Landi:
Microsoft is collaborating with Mass General Brigham and the University of Wisconsin-Madison to enhance AI in medical imaging. The partnership aims to develop, test, and validate AI algorithms to improve the accuracy and consistency of medical image analysis. These AI models will be integrated into clinical workflows via Microsoft’s Azure AI platform and Nuance’s PowerScribe radiology reporting platform. The collaboration seeks to assist radiologists and clinicians in interpreting medical images, generating reports, classifying diseases, and analyzing structured data. This initiative addresses the healthcare industry’s challenges of physician burnout and staffing shortages by leveraging generative AI to enhance workflow efficiencies. Key leaders from the partner organizations emphasize the potential of generative AI to transform clinical care and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, Microsoft is working with Nvidia to advance generative AI and cloud computing in healthcare and life sciences.
