Apr 14, 2021 11:00am Mayo Clinic is launching two new companies, Anumana and Lucem Health, which are working with AI and medical algorithms that tap into the hospital's patient data. (Mayo Clinic) Mayo Clinic has launched a new initiative to collect and analyze patient data from remote monitoring devices and diagnostic tools and to use artificial intelligence to accelerate diagnoses and disease prediction. The goal is to help physicians make better, faster and more accurate diagnoses and detect diseases even before symptoms develop, said John Halamka, M.D., a physician and president of Mayo Clinic Platform. "We're seeing the emergence of sophisticated AI algorithms and in combination with novel data sources, this can result in breakthroughs in disease detection and wellness. This will require the assembly of technology, policy, and patient engagement with cultural change to make that happen," said Halamka during a media briefing Tuesday.
