Google and Bayer have come together to create AI products that will help overworked radiologists. They will develop AI-powered healthcare products for radiology medical workers to prevent burnout.
Bayer tapped Google's cloud computing services unit, Google Cloud, to develop new tech products to assist radiologists via artificial intelligence (AI). The companies announced their partnership on Tuesday, April 9.
Healthcare Application for Radiologists
According to Fierce Healthcare, the collaboration was unveiled at Google Cloud Next 2024. The project will mainly use Google Cloud's technology, especially its generative AI (GenAI) tools like BigQuery, Chronicle, Healthcare API, and Vertex AI. These will be used for Bayer's Innovation Platform, which will help companies build AI-based applications that will lessen radiologists' workloads.
Under the agreement, the German pharmaceutics company will further enhance its innovation platform so it can deploy AI healthcare applications. The firm will utilize Google Cloud's technology for services focused on radiology, where the GenAI will accelerate innovation in medical imaging.
Bayer Innovation Platform
This platform is primarily designed to offer innovative medical imaging tools to medical facilities and companies. The AI-based applications will allow them to provide more cost-effective diagnostic services to clients.
"Radiology plays a critical role in healthcare: the need to efficiently obtain precise insights and deliver solutions at scale that can improve outcomes for many patients has never been greater," Bayer's head of radiology, Nelson Ambrogio, said in a press release. "Given Bayer's long history in radiology with decades of contributions to innovation in this field, and by collaborating with Google Cloud, we will be able to help healthcare organizations transform the growing volumes of data into valuable and meaningful insights."
Google Cloud's chief executive officer, Thomas Kurian, added, "The number of radiologists and other clinicians facing burnout due to the enormous amount of work they must handle each day is increasing. Generative AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and this can save time and improve treatment results."
