Ukuxilongwa komhlaza wemiphunga kwangoko usebenzisa iTekhnoloji ye-AI

I-Optellum ifumene uphawu lwe-CE kwiklinikhi yayo ye-Virtual Nodule, isixhobo sesoftware yenkxaso yeklinikhi enikwe amandla nge-AI esinceda oogqirha ukuba bachonge kwaye balandelele abaguli abasemngciphekweni abathi baveze amaqhuqhuva emiphunga akrokrelekayo anokuba okanye angabinawo umhlaza.

Esi siqinisekiso samva nje siya kuvumela ukusetyenziswa kwi-European Union (EU) kunye ne-United Kingdom (UK), kwaye ivula umnyango wokwandiswa kweYurophu kwinkampani ekhulayo. Linyathelo lamva nje le-Optellum, ethe yafumana imvume ye-FDA 510(k) ekuqaleni kuka-2021 njengesicelo sokuqala soxilongo oluncediswa yi-AI kumhlaza wemiphunga. Ukususela ngoko, inkampani ixhaswe ngokubambisana kunye neNkonzo yezeMpilo yeSizwe (i-NHS) ngenkxaso-mali evela kwi-Innovate UK kunye neZiko leSizwe loPhando lwezeMpilo (NIHR), kwaye iphunyezwe ukusetyenziswa kwezigulane kwizibhedlele ezininzi zase-US ezikhokelayo zehlabathi ezifana I-Atrium Wake Forest Baptist, iZiko lezoNyango leYunivesithi yaseVanderbilt (VUMC) kunye neYunivesithi yaseMississippi yeZiko lezoNyango (UMMC).

Iklinikhi ye-Virtual Nodule Clinic idibanisa amanqaku aqinisekisiweyo ekliniki yeLung Cancer Prediction (LCP) esekwe kwi-imaging AI kwaye inamandla okuphucula ulungelelwaniso lokhathalelo lweklinikhi kunye nezigqibo, ngenjongo yokufumana izigulane zonyango ngaphambi kokuba isifo senziwe nge-metastasis, ngaloo ndlela kwandisa kakhulu ukusinda komhlaza wemiphunga. amaxabiso.

Umhlaza wemiphunga unelona zinga liphezulu lokusweleka kuzo zonke ii-cancer, kunye nezinga lokusinda leminyaka emihlanu liku-20 pesenti. Nangona kunjalo, izinga lokusinda kwamathumba amancinci aphathwe kwi-Stage IA ukuya kwi-90% - ukungafani okugxininisa imfuno ebalulekileyo yokuxilongwa kunye nonyango kwinqanaba lokuqala elinokwenzeka.1

Iqonga ngoku livavanywa kwizibhedlele ezilishumi ze-NHS njengenxalenye ye-DOLCE, iprojekthi yophando oluphawulekayo ekhokelwa nguNjingalwazi uDavid Baldwin, onguNjingalwazi oHloniphekileyo wezoNyango kwiYunivesithi yaseNottingham, kunye noGqirha ongumCebisi kwizibhedlele zeYunivesithi yaseNottingham NHS Trust. Le projekthi yinxalenye ye-NHS AI Lab ye-£ 140 yezigidi ze-AI kwiMpilo kunye neMvuzo yokuKhathalela ukukhawulezisa uvavanyo kunye novavanyo lwe-AI kwi-NHS ukuze izigulana zizuze ekuxilongweni okukhawulezayo kunye nobuntu kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kwiinkonzo zokuhlola.

Unjingalwazi uBaldwin wathi: "Kukho ubungqina obunamandla obuvela kuphando olwenziwe ngononophelo ukuba esi sixhobo se-AI-based Lung Cancer Prediction senza umsebenzi ongcono wokuhlukanisa i-benign kumaqhuqhuva anobungozi kunye namandla okugcina imali ye-NHS ngoku echithwe kwi-CT scans ephindaphindiweyo. Uphononongo lwe-DOLCE lujolise ekuqinisekiseni zombini iziphumo kunye nokulinganisa oko kugcinwa, kwaye kufuneka kube linyathelo lokugqibela ekuphunyezweni ngokupheleleyo kwi-NHS. "

I-Optellum ikwaliqabane elikhokelayo kwishishini kwi-DART yase-UK (iDatha eSebenzisa ubuNgcali boBuchule ekuPhuculeni iziPhumo zeSigulana nge-Thoracic Diseases) consortium, esebenzisana nenkqubo ye-NHS yaseNgilani ekuJoliswe kuyo yokuHlola iMpilo yemiphunga, eya kubonelela ngovavanyo lomhlaza wemiphunga kubantu abamalunga nama-600,000 abafanelekileyo.

UJason Pesterfield, i-CEO ye-Optellum, uthe: “Ukuba nokumakishwa kwe-CE kuya kusivumela ukuba sisebenzise i-AI yethu entsha kwiindawo zeklinikhi ezikhoyo zase-UK, okwenza oogqirha kunye nezigulana zixhamle kubuchwephesha bethu ngaphandle kokulibazisa. Iza kusivumela ukuba sandise ukuthengisa kwethu eYurophu kwaye siqhubele phambili ubambiswano lwethu olukhoyo kunye nezinye izibhedlele kunye neekliniki ebeziyinxalenye yophuhliso lwemveliso yethu yokuqala. ”

I-Optellum iphinde yavezwa mva nje kwi-Health Education England's AI Roadmap Report2, ephonononge ukulungiswa kwe-NHS yokuphunyezwa kobuchwepheshe obutsha be-AI kunye neempembelelo ezi teknoloji ziya kuba nazo kubasebenzi, kwindlela yesigulane, kunye nokusebenza kwenkqubo ebanzi.
