It’s easy to imagine the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to help people around the world live healthier lives.
Some already use AI to spot early signs of disease quickly, as recently reported in a study done in Rangpur, Bangladesh. In this study, the nonprofit Orbis International, which seeks to address preventable causes of blindness, and local physicians used the LumineticsCore system, from Coralville, Iowa-based Digital Diagnostics. The system uses a special kind of camera designed to capture images of the eyes and evaluates them with AI.
