AI in Healthcare: How Amsterdam UMC Embraces Innovation
A key focus for Amsterdam UMC is the collection, storage, and sharing of reliable data, as quality data is essential for effective AI applications. In addition to internal efforts, Amsterdam UMC collaborates with regional partners to improve data quality and promote innovation.
The applications of AI at Amsterdam UMC are diverse. For instance, a blood culture model can predict whether blood sampling is necessary in the emergency department, helping to prevent unnecessary treatments. In cardiology, an AI model identifies subtle abnormalities in heart scans (ECGs) that may indicate heart issues, guiding decisions about further testing, such as MRIs.
To ensure patient data confidentiality, Amsterdam UMC has developed a secure AI sandbox. This environment provides a safe alternative to public platforms like ChatGPT, allowing for the development of AI tools while protecting sensitive data.These initiatives showcase how AI is transforming healthcare processes. Amsterdam UMC also invests in training its staff to utilize data and AI effectively in their daily work.
