Key Market Trends

Medical Imaging & Diagnostics To Hold Significant Share in the Market

In diagnostics, AI enables healthcare providers to make the most appropriate treatment decisions for their patients. AI can be used to identify cancer, triage crucial discoveries in medical imaging, flag acute abnormalities, assist radiologists in prioritizing life-threatening patients, diagnose cardiac arrhythmias, forecast stroke outcomes, and assist with chronic disease management.

The rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases, along with product launches by market players, drives the segment. For instance, the Cancer Facts and Figures 2022, published in January 2022 by the American Cancer Society, predicted approximately 1.9 million new cancer cases in 2022, estimating 186,670 prostate cancer cases, followed by 169,870 cases of lung cancer and 144,490 cases of female breast cancer.

The increased prevalence of cancer and the high burden of other chronic diseases are, in turn, increasing the demand for accurate diagnosis and treatment. This is likely to increase the adoption of AI for early diagnosis purposes, ultimately boosting the market growth.

Incorporating AI into imaging devices may improve diagnosis, which is expected to aid market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in December 2021, Roche introduced three artificial intelligence (AI) based, deep learning image analysis Research Use Only (RUO) algorithms developed for breast cancer.

Story continues

Additionally, in April 2022, Arterys, the vendor-neutral AI platform, launched several new modules to its robust Cardio AI clinical application and an additional (eighth) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) AI clearance based on deep learning.

Additionally, various strategies adopted by the market players are expected to propel the segment's growth. For instance, in November 2021, LifeVoxel, based in San Diego, raised USD 5 million in a seed round to improve the data intelligence of its AI diagnostic visualization platform for faster and more accurate prognosis. Healthcare facilities employ the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for remote diagnostics in various medical specialties, including radiology, cardiology, and orthopedics.

Thus, all the aforementioned factors, such as the growing prevalence of chronic diseases and key strategies adopted by market players, are expected to boost the segment's growth over the forecast period.

How artificial intelligence is matching drugs to patients – BBC

17 April 2023

Dr Talia Cohen Solal, left, is using AI to help her and her team find the best antidepressants for patients

Dr Talia Cohen Solal sits down at a microscope to look closely at human brain cells grown in a petri dish.

"The brain is very subtle, complex and beautiful," she says.

A neuroscientist, Dr Cohen Solal is the co-founder and chief executive of Israeli health-tech firm Genetika+.

Established in 2018, the company says its technology can best match antidepressants to patients, to avoid unwanted side effects, and make sure that the prescribed drug works as well as possible.

"We can characterise the right medication for each patient the first time," adds Dr Cohen Solal.

Genetika+ does this by combining the latest in stem cell technology - the growing of specific human cells - with artificial intelligence (AI) software.

From a patient's blood sample its technicians can generate brain cells. These are then exposed to several antidepressants, and recorded for cellular changes called "biomarkers".

This information, taken with a patient's medical history and genetic data, is then processed by an AI system to determine the best drug for a doctor to prescribe and the dosage.

Although the technology is currently still in the development stage, Tel Aviv-based Genetika+ intends to launch commercially next year.

The global pharmaceutical sector had revenues of $1.4 trillion in 2021

An example of how AI is increasingly being used in the pharmaceutical sector, the company has secured funding from the European Union's European Research Council and European Innovation Council. Genetika+ is also working with pharmaceutical firms to develop new precision drugs.

"We are in the right time to be able to marry the latest computer technology and biological technology advances," says Dr Cohen Solal.

A senior lecturer of biomedical AI and data science at King's College London, she says that AI has so far helped with everything "from identifying a potential target gene for treating a certain disease, and discovering a new drug, to improving patient treatment by predicting the best treatment strategy, discovering biomarkers for personalised patient treatment, or even prevention of the disease through early detection of signs for its occurrence".

New Tech Economy is a series exploring how technological innovation is set to shape the new emerging economic landscape.

Yet fellow AI expert Calum Chace says that the take-up of AI across the pharmaceutical sector remains "a slow process".

"Pharma companies are huge, and any significant change in the way they do research and development will affect many people in different divisions," says Mr Chace, who is the author of a number of books about AI.

"Getting all these people to agree to a dramatically new way of doing things is hard, partly because senior people got to where they are by doing things the old way.

"They are familiar with that, and they trust it. And they may fear becoming less valuable to the firm if what they know how to do suddenly becomes less valued."

However, Dr Sailem emphasises that the pharmaceutical sector shouldn't be tempted to race ahead with AI, and should employ strict measures before relying on its predictions.

"An AI model can learn the right answer for the wrong reasons, and it is the researchers' and developers' responsibility to ensure that various measures are employed to avoid biases, especially when trained on patients' data," she says.

Hong Kong-based Insilico Medicine is using AI to accelerate drug discovery.

"Our AI platform is capable of identifying existing drugs that can be re-purposed, designing new drugs for known disease targets, or finding brand new targets and designing brand new molecules," says co-founder and chief executive Alex Zhavoronkov.

Image source, Insilico Medicine

Alex Zhavoronkov says that using AI is helping his firm to develop new drugs more quickly than would otherwise be the case

Its most developed drug, a treatment for a lung condition called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, is now being clinically trialled.

Mr Zhavoronkov says it typically takes four years for a new drug to get to that stage, but that thanks to AI, Insilico Medicine achieved it "in under 18 months, for a fraction of the cost".

He adds that the firm has another 31 drugs in various stages of development.

Back in Israel, Dr Cohen Solal says AI can help "solve the mystery" of which drugs work.

First systematic review of Artificial Intelligence impact assessments – Human Brain Project

Impact assessments can help identify both positive and negative impacts at an early stage of development. It is very likely that this will become an integral part of structures designed to address ethical and social issues. The first ever systematic review of AI impact assessment was just published in Artificial Intelligence Review, providing the basis for the next step for actors who want to ensure that impact assessments are fit-for-purpose. The authors also develop a generic model that can help guide their decision.

The AI landscape is a moving target, which means that impact assessment models and practices are evolving as rapidly as the technology. In the paper, the authors develop a generic model of an AI impact assessment that can be used to choose, deploy or evaluate specific impact assessments.

In the article, we show how AI impact assessment can be integrated into broader AI ecosystems to support responsible AI, says Bernd Carsten Stahl, Ethics Director in the Human Brain Project, Professor of Critical Research in Technology at the University of Nottingham. Together with a large group of researchers, he has looked at 181 documents. They went on to identify 38 actual AI impact assessments, that went through a rigorous qualitative analysis, looking at the purpose, scope, organisational context, expected issues, timeframe, process and methods, transparency and challenges of each approach.

According to Bernd Carsten Stahl, their work provides a sound basis for the next step in developing impact assessments for AI. According to him, what is still lacking is a more comprehensive overview of the role these impact assessments can playin the larger AI ecosystem. The authors have shown that other types of impact assessments are reiving a lot of attention. They issue a call for coordination and possibly also integrating AI impact assessments in other organisational processes, perhaps as part of other risk management practices.

Artificial intelligence & diversity, equity, inclusion: How execs can meet the challenge – WRAL TechWire

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK Depending on your imagination, there are many ways to view artificial intelligence (AI). For those of you with a sci-fi bent, maybe its a scary version of humans fighting machines, like The Terminator and The Matrix. Alternatively, AI could be seen as a tool to make life better by tapping into global collective knowledge to make advances in everything from medicine to transportation systems.

Either way, AI is not new as either a guiding principle in science fiction and fantasy or in the real world. ChatGPT might be scary to some people, but companies have utilized AI for a long time. For example, Julie Basello and Shannon Feeley explain that manufacturing businesses have used AI to optimize operations and increase efficiency and productivity that assists in the management of supply chains, risk, sales volume and quality of products.

The popularity of ChatGPT, however, has sparked new debate about AI and its role in society. Boiling all the different viewpoints down to fundamentals, what we have learned is that AI is based on lots nearly inconceivable amounts of data that has been created (mainly) by humans.

The human role in producing the collective knowledge base means that it has many of the same characteristics that people (generally) possess: both positive and negative. As Porter Braswell explains: AI is only as good as the data we feed it. The central idea contained in his quote is why many people who work in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are wary of AI and the possible future it foreshadows.

The underlying challenge with AI is that it is created from data sets that demonstrate the same biases as the people who created them. Observers and analysts are concerned that a tool like ChatGPT may perpetuate or even amplify existing biases and inequalities. In other words, the information used to train the machine brain is filled with inherent ideas that are biased. The speed and replication of this thinking then becomes a kind of vicious circle that may lead to even greater discrimination.

From my perspective, the idea that we are supposed to naturally trust the AI-created output as better or scientific is compromised by the fact that people created the data. Who created it? Did these individuals consider DEI? What are the consequences of biased or discriminatory language existing within the core thinking and learning of AI systems?

AI is never infallible, because it is designed by highly fallible humans and it can only learn from existing data sets, Braswell says. It will help us create a better future one which yields more desirable and equitable data sets but only if humans are there to analyze its outputs and help shape the direction in which they guide us.

While smart executives should raise questions about how AI is created and by whom, there is also a resource allocation view. As these tools become more ubiquitous, we must ensure that they are inclusive and accessible to all people, regardless of race, gender or socioeconomic status. As leaders in DEI and broadly across organizations, we have to make them available across society so that all people benefit, not just the few.

Here are three specific, actionable steps that senior executives and managers can take now to ensure that AI systems are diversity-forward:

If you look beyond the tech and its potential for good and bad, what is revealed is that AI actually has a marketing problem. We know we need AI and we are not going to slow down its development, now that it has become the hottest business topic on the planet. Simultaneously, there are basic challenges because people create the infrastructure and people have biases.

The ironic aspect is that those of us working in DEI face a similar situation. Many executives are wondering why their teams dont perform better and are asking questions about what is holding them back. The honest answer is usually that they lack something that can be traced back to culture.

Smart leaders are asking tough questions because their people and organizations want culture change that leads to workplace excellence. We certainly dont want a situation where AI is actually undercutting critical DEI programming. It is up to executive teams to ensure that these new technologies are developed and implemented in a way that promotes DEI and benefits everyone, not stumbling into a solution that actually perpetuates the stereotypes and inequalities that so many people have dedicated themselves to eradicating.

There are so many potential benefits with AI. With those benefits comes a great deal of responsibility. It is going to take true leadership to ensure that DEI is prioritized, particularly since many people in those roles are unsure of what they should be doing to make diversity a priority on a personal or organizational level.

Every new technology has unintended consequences. Lets all work together now to ensure that bias and discrimination are not part of the AI brain we cant wait for Neo to save us!
