Artificial Intelligence continues to advance many industries around the world. As we experience the conveniences we get thanks to Artificial Intelligence, we expect health, which is the most important element of our lives, to progress as fast as it does in other sectors. The predictions that the global health market size for artificial intelligence will reach 28 billion dollars in 2025 gives hope for these expectations.
In an article of mine published in the Pharmaceutical Business Review a short while ago, I evaluated the current position of artificial intelligence in the health sector, and also talked about our future expectations in this field. Now let’s look at who are the Top 10 Healthcare Companies in the World that are strengthening the place of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry and what they are doing.
Google Health & DeepMind
Google is one of the companies we all know best. The company which was founded in 1998 as search engine company and started a great transformation in our lives strengthened Google Health, which he founded in 2008 with the aim of contributing to improving health, by purchasing DeepMind, a very powerful artificial intelligence company, in 2014.
It works on application development, data security, cloud storage, improving patient outcomes, supporting patient care teams. As an example of the latest artificial intelligence studies developed by Google Health & DeepMind, we can give the development of a screening system aimed at detecting tuberculosis (TB) disease at an early stage and even eliminating it completely https://health.google/
IBM Watson Health
IBM Watson health who was founded in 2005, aims to help create smart health ecosystems in the world with its deep-rooted experiences in the field of health. It offers technology solutions covering a wide range of topics such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, data analytics. IBM Watson Health’s work in the field of oncology treatment is quite remarkable. With the software systems it has developed, it has significantly increased the speed of treatment decision today.
For example, in a study conducted in India at the Manipal Cancer Center with 638 patients, it was found that the decision-making time of physicians by studying patient data was about 20 minutes, while this experience was only 40 seconds for Watson. https://www.ibm.com/watson-health
Oncora Medical
Oncora Medical is a company known for its support for cancer research and treatments, especially for its contributions to radiotherapy processes. It works with the aim of developing personalized treatments with the database it creates with the electronic medical records it collects. To that end, the company says it has a strong team of data scientists, clinicians and machine learning experts focused on improving the quality of radiation treatments. https://www.oncora.ai/
Cloud MedX Health
Cloud MedX Health is an artificial intelligence company that says it aims to produce affordable, accessible, standardized and simplified healthcare services for patients and physicians. It uses NLP (Natural Language Processing) and deep learning methods to extract key electronic medical concepts and documents and present them to physicians and hospitals. https://cloudmedxhealth.com/
Babylon Health
Babylon Health is working on the world’s largest patient-oriented artificial intelligence application in cooperation with the British National Health System. The application developed by Babylon evaluates the answers and visual clues obtained from the users and directs the patient to the right physician. On the other hand, it increases patient-physician communication with services such as the ability of physicians to conduct patient interviews via video conference and delivery of prescriptions to patients’ homes. https://www.babylonhealth.com/us
Corti
Corti is an artificial intelligence company that has spread all over Europe since it was founded in Copenhagen in 2016, supporting life-saving decisions for emergency medical shipments. So much so that it helps diagnose the disease with a system that listens and analyzes emergency medical conversations in real time, and then informs doctors about what actions to take using machine learning. The real-time artificial intelligence system used by Corti identifies important points in conversations, alerting health professionals in emergency situations such as cardiac arrest. https://www.corti.ai/
Butterfly Network
Butterfly Network was founded in 2011 in the USA in order to make medical imaging accessible to all people around the world. The company strongly notes that it is working towards the fact that imaging methods, which are an expensive method, are easily accessible to every person.
It enables the imaging process to be automated with a medical imaging device that can efficiently process the information it receives from ultrasound and MRIs. Its IQ products, which it has developed, also include features such as wireless charging, unlimited storage, built-in battery. https://www.butterflynetwork.com/
Arterys
Arterys, which was founded in San Francisco in 2007 and has branches in cities such as Calgary and Paris today, has artificial intelligence-supported technology to convert disease diagnoses into robust results with medical images. She is working to transform healthcare by reducing subjectivity and variability in clinical diagnosis. https://www.arterys.com/
Caption Health
Caption Health, is a company which was founded in 2013 to provide healthcare providers with new competencies in interpreting ultrasound images and the first artificial intelligence company to have an FDA (American Food and Drug Administration) approve in a medical imaging system.
It works with the goal of ensuring that ultrasound images are of the quality that will benefit patients more and transforming diagnostic healthcare. https://captionhealth.com/
Enlitic
Enlitic is a company founded in 2014. A company that augments healthcare diagnoses using deep learning, one of the learning methods of artificial intelligence, to monitor the workflows of radiologists. While shaping the next generation of diagnostic health tools, it supports radiologists to define medical problems in the most accurate way. It can process and analyze many data such as radiology images, EKG, blood tests and laboratory results 10,000 times faster than a radiologist. https://www.enlitic.com/
