Improving healthcare with AI

A quick history of Artificial Intelligence
John McCarthy (1927-2011)
1956 - Coined the term “Artificial Intelligence”
1958 - Invented LISP
1971 - Received the Turing Award
Forbidden Planet
1956
Dartmouth Summer Research Project
Robbie the Robot
Artificial Intelligence: design
software applications which
exhibit human-like behavior,
e.g. speech, natural language
processing, reasoning or
intuition
Gazing into the crystal ball
• 1958 Herbert Simon and Allen Newell
“Within 10 years a digital computer will be the
world's chess champion”
• 1965 Herbert Simon
“Machines will be capable, within 20 years,
of doing any work a man can do”
• 1967 Marvin Minsky
“Within a generation ...
the problem of creating 'artificial intelligence'
will substantially be solved.”
• 1970 Marvin Minsky
“In from 3 to 8 years we will have a machine
with the general intelligence of an average human
being”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_artificial_intelligence
Herbert Simon (1916-2001)
1975 - Received the Turing Award
1978 - Received the Nobel Prize in Economics
Allen Newell (1927-1992)
1975 - Received the Turing Award
It’s 2001.Where is HAL?
Marvin Minsky (1927-2016)
1959 - Co-founded the MIT AI Lab
1968 - Advised Kubrick on “2001: A Space Odyssey”
1969 - Received the Turing Award
HAL 9000 (1992-2001)
« No program today can distinguish a dog
from a cat, or recognize objects in typical
rooms, or answer questions that 4-year-olds
can! »
Artificial Intelligence: design
software applications which
exhibit human-like behavior,
e.g. speech, natural language
processing, reasoning or
intuition
Machine Learning: teach
machines to learn without
being explicitly programmed
Millions of users… Mountains of data… Commodity hardware…
Bright engineers… Need to make money!
Gasoline waiting for a match!
12/2004 - Google publishes seminal paper on processing data at scale
04/2006 –Yahoo implements it
The rest is history
Fast forward a few years
• Machine Learning is now a commodity, but still no HAL in sight
• Machine Learning doesn’t work well on unstructured data (images,
video, speech, freeform text, etc.)
• These tasks that are easy for people but hard to describe formally
• Is there a way to get informal knowledge into a computer?
• Enter neural networks and Deep Learning
Artificial Intelligence: design software
applications which exhibit human-like
behavior, e.g. speech, natural language
processing, reasoning or intuition
Machine Learning: teach machines to
learn without being explicitly
programmed
Deep Learning: using neural networks,
teach machines to learn from complex
data where features cannot be explicitly
expressed
Healthcare Applications of Deep Learning
Finding a doctor near you
https://www.zocdoc.com
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/zocdoc-builds-patient-confidence-using-tensorflow-on-aws/
• Zocdoc is an online healthcare
scheduling service, locating a
doctor in your area and optimizing
costs
• With Zocdoc’s Insurance Checker, a
patient just has to take a photo of
their health insurance card.The
system uses Deep Learning-based
computer vision to scan the ID card
and extract the correct policy ID
information.
Automating document processing
https://aws.amazon.com/comprehend/medical/
Detecting fractures
https://www.azmed.co
Non-displaced
scaphoid fracture
Automatic reporting
Auto-contouring in seconds
https://www.arterys.com
https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/arterys/
Arterys can contour
cardiac anatomy as
accurately as experts, but
takes only 15-20 seconds
instead of the 45-60
minutes required to do it
manually
Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2018-11-artificial-intelligence-alzheimer-years-diagnosis.html
The algorithm
achieved 100 percent
sensitivity at
detecting the disease
an average of more
than six years prior to
the final diagnosis.
« AI will never replace doctors »
(blah blah blah)
5.8 billion people around the world
can’t access an expert physician
Detecting cervical cancer with a smartphone
https://www.mobileodt.com/
http://www.itnewsafrica.com/2017/11/interview-mobileodt-using-aws-cloud-to-save-lives/
270,000 women die every year of cervical cancer
What about people who need
constant supervision?
In 2014, 1 in 59 U.S. children had autism
In 2017, 44 million people worldwide have
Alzheimer’s disease
Pollexy: building a special needs voice assistant
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/pollexy-building-a-special-needs-voice-assistant-with-amazon-polly-and-raspberry-pi/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUewiOZTNzM
AI is a revolution for healthcare professionals
Earlier detection
Faster, more accurate diagnosis
Personalized, optimal treatment
Saving time, paperwork and exams
Letting them focus on the most important thing…
