At the “Artificial Intelligence in Health” symposium within the framework of the Vietnam Artificial Intelligence Day (AI4VN) on the afternoon of August 15, representatives of Vingroup Big Data Institute shared, AI applications in diagnosis imaging and medical imaging databases will be provided free of charge to hospitals and research organization. For doctors, this will be useful in making conclusions faster and more confidently.
Specifically, AI applications in imaging will help patients have access to quality diagnostics at low cost, especially in localities. For physicians, this AI application will support them to make diagnosis faster and more confident.
“According to a worldwide report on breast cancer screening, if only one doctor looked at an image and concluded, it would be 78% accurate. Yet if AI supported, it would be accurate to 87%”, said Vingroup Big Data Institute representative.
In addition, for the medical imaging database, the Institute owns more than 100,000 images with different sizes and features taken from 5-10 hospitals in Vietnam. These images are annotated by experienced doctors and are normative and labeled. “We are willing to share it for free to research organizations”, said Vingroup Research Institute representative.
Previously, in the press conference introducing the Artificial Intelligence Day (AI4VN) held on July 31, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui The Duy affirmed that up to now, Vietnam had not owned much big data of different fields to apply it in artificial intelligence research. As a reason, for a long time, from research institutes to regulatory agencies or businesses, all have not been interested in storing data for digital transformation and convert into resources for artificial intelligence training.
To solve this problem, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology said that Vietnam can only develop artificial intelligence if there is a cohesion of every individuals, every researchers, specialists, engineers, and the corporations’ leaders to share information and knowledge. “Let’s share data to build artificial intelligence and big data”, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology confirmed.
