Hi, this is M. Tombash from Cincinnati Children's Hospital. I'm Cecilia Higena. I'm working as a research fellow in the Cincinnati Children's Hospital. In a previous video, we introduced the concept of artificial intelligence, aka AI. In this video, we'll discuss the ways to apply AI in healthcare with some examples. Let's get started. Currently, roles for AI in medical settings, mostly for clinical decision support and imaging analysis. While clinical decision support tools help providers make decisions about treatments, medications, mental health, and other patient needs. AI tools are being used to analyze CT scans, X-rays, MRIs in medical imaging. But AI has so much more to give to healthcare. A healthcare startup called Innocence BD uses predictive AI to identify infants at risk of developing sepsis by up to several hours, which creates a higher chance for a better outcome for these infants. Founder of Innocence BD explains their product. The edge computing solution we developed, which uses real-time data from medical sensors and runs on IBM Cloud. And the fact that it's 75% accurate in detecting severe sepsis, generating less than one false alarm per week, keeps doctors focused on what matters most. Harvard University's teaching hospital doctors developed an AI-enhanced microscope to scan for harmful bacterias like E. coli and staphylococcus in blood samples at a faster rate than it's possible using manual scanning. Now the machines know how to identify and predict these bacteria in blood with 95% accuracy. John Hopson Hospital uses predictive AI techniques to improve the efficiency of patient operational flow. AI quickly prioritizes hospital activity to benefit patients. Since implementing the program, the facility has assigned patients admitted 38% faster.
