Bayer and Google Cloud work together to optimize radiology
The multinational chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer and the cloud computing platform Google Cloud have joined forces to develop solutions for radiology using artificial intelligence. These should enable better patient care in the future.
Bayer is reportedly expanding its innovation portfolio using Google Cloud technology. The aim is to accelerate the provision of AI-supported applications in the healthcare sector, specializing in radiology. The aim is to develop secure software for medical imaging.
Nelson Ambrogio, Head of Radiology at Bayer, explains: "Radiology plays a critical role in healthcare: the need to efficiently generate accurate insights and deliver solutions at scale that can improve outcomes for many patients has never been greater." By working together, the vast amount of data can be transformed into meaningful insights, allowing radiologists to optimize their time management for the benefit of patients.
Data processing with AI
According to the information, 90 percent of health data is collected from medical image data, making radiology one of the most important tools for diagnosing patients. The increased volume of data also increases the workload for medical staff.
Bayer and Google Cloud are developing AI tools to process data more efficiently. The new platform will enable the analysis, development and introduction of healthcare solutions in the cloud. AI-supported data analysis can accelerate the introduction of new solutions.
Initial tests of the platform are to be carried out in the EU and the USA this year.
About data protection and security
Life science companies like Bayer must adhere to strict data security standards. Google Cloud's security features ensure patients can manage their data securely. Google Cloud also enables compliance with laws such as GDPR.
