Smarter Healthcare on Demand

Introduction

Telerad Tech and Image Core Lab (ICL) are jointly organizing AI in Radiology – Symposium 2018 from November 10, 2018 at Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The objectives of the event are to:

• Highlight the role of AI/ deep learning in Radiology
• Promote the understanding of the role of AI in healthcare
• Highlight development & technology initiatives.

Background

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the next disruptive technology that will usher in major changes in the dynamics of the healthcare industry. A report by Market and markets has forecasted that AI healthcare market will reach USD 7,988.8 million by 2022 at a CAGR of 52.68% globally. The key drivers of AI are growing usage of Big Data in the healthcare industry, the ability of AI to improve patient outcomes, the imbalance between healthcare workforce and patients, the ability to make healthcare affordable and accessible, growing importance on precision medicine, cross-industry partnerships, and significant increase in venture capital investments in AI amidst others.

In Radiology in particular, AI software applications promises to excel at automatically recognizing complex patterns in medical imaging data and providing quantitative assessments of radiographic features. Contrary to the general perception that AI is a threat to the radiologist profession, it in fact is an ally which when used appropriately can transform healthcare delivery by increasing radiology productivity, enhancing accuracy of interpretation, and allowing them more time for value addition and research. The AI in Radiology – Symposium 2018 will focus on some of these benefits of AI and offer preview of upcoming AI products.

The day long symposium will bring together technology industry leaders, policy makers, hospital CIOs/CTOs and academic researchers. The event will offer an exceptional opportunity to engage with leading minds on AI – a world changing technology.
