What's New In Digital Health

HIMSS 2019 ended as quickly as it had begun. Leaving attendees with a feeling of excitement, the MetaOptima Team spent the final day introducing industry experts to the latest features to DermEngine’s intelligent dermatology toolbox with upcoming AI-based features like Smart Snap and DermDrone.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a $16 billion market opportunity positioned for great innovations in the healthcare sector. Designed to create comprehensive documentation solutions, this niche AI-based solution is already revolutionizing how data is utilized.

AI is the technology deemed to revolutionize human life to unprecedented levels. However, the degree to which it is widely accepted by users in healthcare is directly related to how much understanding there is on the basics of the functionality of the programming that powers intelligent algorithms.

Big data is an increasingly common term referring to the collection and analysis of large amounts of data to draw patterns of predictability for disease prevention and management. The potential of big data in dermatology can contribute to the early detection of skin cancer for higher survival rates.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the concept of learning through the use of powerful algorithms capable of outperform human experts in a variety of disciplines. However, such success is reliant on the relatively unknown tasks of “humans in the loop” for data labelling.

It's National Skin Cancer Action Week in Australia. With 2 in 3 Australians diagnosed in their lifetime, it's important to educate people on the importance of skin cancer early detection. But where exactly are patients turning to seek medical support, and most importantly, are they receiving it?
