Google, DoD build AI tool to spot cancer

Sep 20, 2023 - beckershospitalreview.com
Google and the Defense Department are developing artificial intelligence (AI)-powered microscopes, known as Augmented Reality Microscopes, to detect cancer. The AI generates a bright green line to indicate the location and severity of the cancer when a clinician looks through the microscope.

The technology, which is not yet being used for patient treatment, is expected to cost health systems between $90,000 and $100,000. The goal is for the AI assistant to help clinicians manage larger caseloads and address workforce shortages. So far, 13 Augmented Reality Microscopes have been built.

Key takeaways:

  • Google and the Defense Department are developing AI-powered microscopes to detect cancer.
  • The Augmented Reality Microscope, which is not yet being used for treatment, can highlight cancerous areas and identify the severity of the cancer.
  • So far, 13 Augmented Reality Microscopes have been built.
  • The tool is expected to cost between $90,000 and $100,000 for health systems to purchase and is aimed at helping clinicians manage larger caseloads and workforce shortages.
