China's Beijing Tiantan Hospital on Friday set up an AI research center in collaboration with Singapore’s artificial intelligence start-up Hanalytics.
The center, the first in the world to apply machine-learning technology in the field, will focus on neurology.
Hanalytics said in a press release that it would provide an “exclusive cooperation” to the hospital in diagnosis, prevention, prognosis and patient rehabilitation.
"In the future, AI-powered robots will help with diagnosis, prognosis, patient rehabilitation and many other medical practices," a neurology expert and the vice president of Tiantan Hospital, Wang Yongjun said at the launch event on Friday.
"The complex diseases of human brains will be diagnosed by the electronic brains," he added.
The accuracy rate of the AI system’s diagnosis has reached as high as 95 percent, equals to the rate of an experienced doctor, said Wang.
Beijing Tiantan Hospital's vice president Wang Yongjun and Hanalytics CEO Raymond Moh signed the agreement of the research center on Friday.
The hospital and company will work together on many ongoing projects including brain tumors, cranial blood vessels and biopsy, Hanalytics’ spokesperson Ong Yi Lin told Channel NewsAsia in an email.
All data acquisition, identification and diagnosis of the data will be performed within the premise of the hospital, said the spokesperson, adding that all patient data will be confidential.
