The virtual human project

Published on Mar 12, 2018

The virtual human project has the potential to transform medicine. The project is already helping to reduce the need for animals in drug testing. In the long term, a virtual version of you will be used test treatments, like a crash test dummy, guinea pig and trial volunteer all rolled into one. Your digital doppelgänger could breathe, blister and bleed. It could be dissected, probed and explored in unprecedented detail, helping to work out the treatments that work best for you.

The film was produced by the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre and CompBioMed H2020 Centre of Excellence in Computational Biomedicine, led by University College London.

How doctors can help A.I. to revolutionize medicine

Published on Aug 9, 2018

Greg Corrado, Co-founder of Google Brain and Principal Scientist at Google, has spent the last decade at the forefront of the A.I. revolution. Greg's vision for how A.I. will help to shape the future of health and medicine is grounded in his experience as a neuroscientist—before he started working on computer neural networks, he was focused on neural networks in the human brain.

From distilling data insights to improving the decision making process, Greg sees a multitude of ways that A.I. and machine learning can help magnify the healing powers of doctors. In fact, he believes that doctors who embrace A.I. will "see their healing powers expand more than they have in a hundred years." Tune in to Greg's 2017 TEDMED Talk to learn more about the enormous role that A.I. and machine learning will play in the future of health and medicine, and why doctors and other healthcare professionals must play a central role in that revolution.

How AI is making it easier to diagnose disease | Pratik Shah

Published on Aug 21, 2018

Today's AI algorithms require tens of thousands of expensive medical images to detect a patient's disease. What if we could drastically reduce the amount of data needed to train an AI, making diagnoses low-cost and more effective? TED Fellow Pratik Shah is working on a clever system to do just that. Using an unorthodox AI approach, Shah has developed a technology that requires as few as 50 images to develop a working algorithm -- and can even use photos taken on doctors' cell phones to provide a diagnosis. Learn more about how this new way to analyze medical information could lead to earlier detection of life-threatening illnesses and bring AI-assisted diagnosis to more health care settings worldwide.

Camels, code & lab coats: how AI is advancing science and medicine

Published on Sep 21, 2018

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already a part of our everyday lives – from search, to translate, to finding all the dog photos we’ve ever taken. Soon, it will also have a major impact on our health and wellbeing. For the past few years, Google researchers have been exploring ways these same technologies could help advance the fields of medicine and science, working with scientists, doctors, and others in the field. In this video, we share a few early research projects that have big potential. Check out the description below for more info on each project.

AI and Machine Learning in Medicine with Jonathan Chen

Published on Nov 28, 2018

Medicine is ripe for applying AI, given the enormous volumes of real world data and ballooning healthcare costs. Professor Chen demystifies buzzwords, draws analogies to well-established tools and shares why mastering Go and operating self-driving cars differs from solving the unique medical challenges.

Jonathan H. Chen, assistant professor of medicine at the Stanford University Medical Center
As a physician data scientist, Professor Chen practices internal medicine for the concrete rewards of caring for real people and to inspire research focused on discovering and distributing clinical data knowledge. At Stanford, his group seeks to empower individuals with the collective experience of the many, combining human and artificial intelligence approaches that will deliver better care than either can do alone. Professor Chen is a founding partner of the startup Reaction Explorer, which draws on technology to teach complex problem-solving in organic chemistry.

This talk was recorded at Stanford Reunion Homecoming 2018.
