AI based Rapid on-site cytology solution for EBUS Bronchoscopy

AIRA MATRIX, HOLMUSK and CURO-HEALTH are pleased to announce partnership to develop an Artificial Intelligence based image analysis solution for Rapid On Site Evaluation (“ROSE”) of EBUS-TBNA samples in collaboration with Dr. Suman Paul, Specialist Registrar in Respiratory Medicine, Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. First results will be presented at the Intelligent Health 2019 conference in Basel, Switzerland on September 11 and 12, 2019. This solution is meant to develop a device to provide rapid on-site cytology for bronchoscopy specimens to aid the tissue diagnosis of lung cancer.

It’s no secret that the opportunity in unearthing hidden insights in healthcare data is huge.

“The biosciences are swimming in data. The total amount of knowledge in healthcare doubles every 73 days, and it turns out that scientists can now create more information in a couple of weeks, than they could create in a lifetime only three years ago.”

Those are the words of Toby Cosgrove – former CEO of (the) Cleveland Clinic who, last year, joined Google as Executive Advisor to the Google Cloud Healthcare and Life Sciences team. His mission is to bring together healthcare practitioners and engineers to collaborate and realise the potential that healthcare data presents.

There is much excitement in the world of AI and healthcare. From the promise of mass analysis and management of patient health records, to advanced predictive diagnosis methods, it’s easy to be optimistic about the future of healthcare when you consider the potential power of well-distributed, ethically robust and technically advanced AI systems. And with the AI market looking to grow at an annual rate of 40% through to 2021, reaching $6.6 billion that year as opposed to only $600 million in 2014, the business opportunity in field is attracting a new wave of entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists adopting AI systems into the heart of their healthcare innovations.

The Case Study Problem

This case study derives from an ongoing Volv engagement, which started in July 2017. A pharmaceutical company approached Volv Global to develop a prediction model to identify additional patients suffering from the rare disease treatable by its specialist medicine.
