Mohammed bin Zayed University for Artificial Intelligence launches various initiatives that support the healthcare sector
Abu Dhabi, April 4 / WAM / The Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence is strengthening its efforts in the field of healthcare, with its focus on a number of key research areas in this sector.
In the following report, coinciding with World Health Day, which falls on April 7 of each year and is held under the slogan “My Health…My Right,” the university reviews its initiative in this sector, as artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the medical field, especially in the tasks of prevention and diagnosis. It contributes to the development of personalized medicines and enhanced access to care, so it can play a key role in expanding health services to reach the communities most in need.
Malaria is considered one of the oldest diseases known to man, and a team of scientists at the Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, with support from the “Last Mile” initiative, seeks to develop artificial intelligence-based applications to help doctors and public health officials in Indonesia reduce the risk of malaria. The impact of malaria on the country’s population of 270 million.
These applications work to integrate sensor data, which is a process that collects data from a variety of sensors, with the aim of generating a virtual image of the environment that is a “digital copy.”
This approach provides accurate weather forecasts and allows a near-real-time picture of the environment to be drawn, which helps provide officials with detailed information about where a potential malaria outbreak may occur, and thus limit the spread of the disease.
Predictive healthcare based on artificial intelligence seeks to anticipate health problems before they arise, enabling proactive preventive measures to be applied and personalized treatment for the patient.
This technology analyzes large sets of data and identifies patterns, with the aim of improving the quality of preventive care, reducing hospital admissions and ultimately saving people’s lives.
In this regard, a team from Mohammed bin Zayed University for Artificial Intelligence uses machine learning and computer vision to identify cardiovascular diseases through computed tomography.
The team is cooperating with the University of Oxford to conduct a comprehensive study aimed at identifying vital indicators that indicate the possibility of heart problems, even before any symptoms of the disease appear.
The artificial intelligence system also aims to help doctors, by analyzing medical images and highlighting the areas of the body that should be focused on.
The university is working to enhance the use of artificial intelligence for the purposes of remote patient monitoring and the use of sensors and algorithms to monitor vital signs and health measurements remotely, thus providing information about patient health and safety in real time.
This technology would allow proactive measures to be taken, reduce hospital readmissions, and improve the level of efficiency of health care in general, and for patients suffering from chronic diseases in remote areas in particular.
These tools can be used to monitor the health and safety of older individuals and provide the support they need to stay in their homes.
Several types of smart wearable devices can also be integrated into remote patient monitoring and assistance systems to monitor the patient’s pulse, body temperature, and body position and location.
At the level of the drug development sector; Last year, Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Artificial Intelligence signed an agreement with Curres AI to develop a global center for bio-artificial intelligence to be headquartered in Abu Dhabi.
This center contributes to accelerating the process of developing safer and specialized medicines, designed to suit the diverse population in the Middle East and North Africa region.
In this context, the university offers its extensive experience in improving predictive artificial intelligence models, in addition to motivating its desired graduates with their experience in the artificial intelligence sector to remain in the United Arab Emirates to complete their career path.
