Could AI find your cancer? | Anant Madabhushi | TEDxAtlanta
Cancer treatments can have physical side effects that range from mild to severe and the newer immunotherapies are costly even for those with health insurance. AI health researcher and one of the foremost experts in the field of radiomics Anant Madabhushi’s shares the latest developments in tools that are more accurately assessing tumor aggressiveness and predicting treatment responsiveness than current methods and the potential they hold for cancer treatment planning in developing countries like India. How can AI be used to save cancer patients from chemically and financially toxic treatment options? How can AI accelerate advances in precision medicine?
These questions drive Anant Madabhushi’s pioneering research which improves diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of cancer and other diseases. He is a faculty member at Emory University’s Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering and Georgia Tech’s College of Engineering.
A world-leading authority on medical imaging and AI with more than 500 scientific papers and 100 patents to his name, Anant received the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society award in 2017 for technical achievements in computational imaging and digital pathology.
