Healthcare Computer Vision Lab
According to a 2016 estimation from IBM researchers, 90% of all Medical Big Data is imaging data.
Computer vision is a form of artificial intelligence where computers can “see” the world, analyze visual data and then make decisions from it or gain understanding about the environment and situation.
The Value of Computer Vision in Health Care
The widespread adoption of visual AI strategies for health care has only just begun. As a subfield of artificial intelligence, visual AI [computer vision] enables computers to "see" and process images and videos faster, more accurately, and more cost efficiently than a highly trained medical practitioner. Computer vision technology is quickly offering many benefits to the healthcare industry, such as:
- Accurate and efficient imaging analysis
- Smart operating rooms
- Better patient identification
- Increased healthcare safety
- Accelerated medical research
