Today, the power of Artificial Intelligence to transform personal and professional lives is undeniable. But is it all AI can do? Beyond materialistic benefits, scientists believe that AI has the power to transform our lives even more. Healthcare is the epitome of this. Mahidol University in Thailand has recently joined hands with AI Medical Service Inc (AIM), a Japanese medical start-up specializing in the development of diagnostic endoscopic AI, to assess the practicality of endoscopic AI.

AIM recently received manufacturing and marketing

approval from Japan’s Minister of Health for an AI-equipped endoscopic imaging diagnosis support system. Endoscopic AI has the potential to be a groundbreaking tool as it helps detect lesion candidates for biopsy or other additional exams based on gross features during endoscopic examination. Commenting on the occasion, representing Mahidol University, Jirawat Swangsri, M.D., Ph.D., said, “We are excited to begin collaborating with AIM, the world leader in research and development of endoscopic AI.

As you know, esophageal cancer and gastric cancer cases are on the rise. The early detection and early treatment of the upper GI malignant would lead to better survival and quality of life.”

Bringing students closer to real-time industrial research is a priceless achievement. Creating global citizens in the healthcare AI era can’t afford to miss out on leveraging the enormous possibilities that AI has to offer. Something that differentiates the premium institutions in the country from others is nothing different.
