The UW Department of Radiology joins host Mass General Brigham in the Healthcare AI Challenge. The first-of-its-kind interactive virtual environment enables healthcare professionals to experience and assess the world’s most advanced AI healthcare solutions.
Participating healthcare professionals can explore cutting-edge AI solutions designed for specific medical tasks, such as medical image interpretation, within a simulated environment. Professionals with relevant healthcare credentials can provide feedback on the performance and utility of these solutions, resulting in publicly available insights and analytics.
The feedback gathered through the initiative will be used to benefit stakeholders and patients worldwide.
The Healthcare AI Challenge chose radiology as the first specialty because it has been an early adopter of AI solutions.
“Medical imaging provides many types of data, and up to 95% of healthcare data collected is unstructured, non-text data,” said Richard Bruce, MD. “AI has the potential to interpret and distill that data at a new scale and speed, but what we need is the ability to quickly test and compare different AI solutions. The Healthcare AI Challenge will offer a platform to evaluate and compare tools across various clinical situations.”
Organizations participating in the Healthcare AI Challenge Collaborative also include Emory Healthcare and the Department of Radiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
In addition to healthcare institutions, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has joined the Healthcare AI Challenge Collaborative as a founding member, ensuring its 42,000-member community can access the Healthcare AI Challenge.
