Our local National University Health System (NUHS) has announced to the public that they are ready to bring out 2023’s tech big gun AKA generative AI into healthcare now.
The initiative focuses on optimizing hospital resource allocation and providing tailored treatments for each patient through the power of the Prescience supercomputer – first unveiled last month as the very first supercomputer for Singapore dedicated to healthcare.
Packing multiple NVIDIA DGX A100 systems for beastly total GPU horsepower, it fits seamlessly into the NUHS AI program by training custom Large Language Models (LLMs) with one of the crowning achievements being the NUHS RUSSELL-GPT designed to perform tasks like summarizing patient case notes, composing referral letters for doctors, and even responding to medical queries.
While the LLM takes care of these mundane things in a flash, medical professionals will now have more time for direct patient interaction.
There are also other models that augment other departments of a given medical institution. For example, NUHS can now estimate the duration of hospitalization, forecasting fitness level journeys through the Patient Trajectory Prediction AI Model, and the SMILE AI (Smart Monitoring and Intelligent Learning for Enhancing oral health) streamlining manual tooth charting into fully automated “scan and get result” output.
