Today Nova Scotia Health and Premier Tim Houston announced a partnership with Google Cloud to drive better health outcomes through the power of AI. We're doing three things: 1. Advanced Search capabilities for Nova Scotians across large corpus of health resources, made available on Nova Scotia Health websites and apps. 2. Better tools for health care professionals to quickly retrieve relevant data for their patients. 3. Support radiologists in reviewing chest X-rays through image anomaly detection technologies. The first two applications have come into the mainstream over the past year or two through GenAI. The third is something I've personally been involved with a few times over the years, with mixed outcomes previously. Back in 2017 (eons ago in AI-years) I worked with a large imaging company in Europe to apply Google's AI anomaly detection algorithms to detect skin malignancies. Unfortunately, at the time, the appropriate national governance frameworks just weren't ready for this, although it could have helped millions of patients, and we had the technology already at Google. To say I've been bothered by this outcome ever since would be an understatement. I'm incredibly proud of the role Google Cloud Consulting and Professional Services, including my own team, have played in the new partnership with Nova Scotia Health, and thrilled about the opportunities this will open. https://lnkd.in/gVjmNnzY
