\n EXCLUSIVE \u2013 Google announced Wednesday it has been chosen by a sector of the Defense Department to assist with a new U.S. health system designed to help pathologists study and identify certain types of cancers suffered by military veterans.<\/p>\n

The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) tasked Google with crafting a specialized artificial-intelligence model of information that could be overlayed with augmented-reality microscopes. Google\u2019s machine intelligence then helps doctors as they use the microscopes to map out the tumor, in an effort to determine its distinct makeup and cellular structure.<\/p>\n

Vice president of the global public sector for Google Cloud Mike Daniels spoke with Fox News<\/a> about the program. He said the innovations being rolled out could lead to exciting breakthroughs in cancer research, as well as general<\/a> health care.<\/p>\n

\u201cHealth care is critical to the military\u2019s force readiness,\u201d Daniels said during a phone interview. \u201cMore important than that, or equally important, is funding for certain cancer-related programs. The DHA (Defense Health Agency) spends $1.7 billion of its annual budget on cancer research.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hoping by activating A.I. we are able to accomplish two outcomes,\u201d Daniels continued. \u201cOne is, better patient outcomes with respect to diagnoses, and two is to create some efficiency to help these pathologists sift through the enormous amount of data they have. It\u2019s an important practical app<\/a>lication of A.I. at the point of care, to drive real-world outcomes that matter for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program, also aimed at helping drive down medical costs, is focusing on both active-duty military members and veterans, to be implemented at DHA treatment facilities and Veterans Affairs hospitals across the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow it happens is, there is a limited set of military hospitals and VA facilities that have augmented-reality microscopes,\u201d Daniels explained. \u201cWe are deploying our already developed model onto those microscopes to literally be a virtual assistant for the pathologist, at the time when they are looking at these slides.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the technology<\/a> \u201cidentifies areas where they might want to look closer, because of an algorithm relay match. \u2026 Our responsibilities will include day-to-day program management, architecture, and technical implementation of that aspect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aashima Gupta, the director of global health care solutions for Google Cloud, also spoke with Fox News about the undertaking. She said the level of relief the program will provide practicing pathologists cannot be understated.<\/p>\n

The program will lighten pathologists\u2019 workloads by lessening the number of hours they must spend on such dense material, freeing them to do a deeper dive into the other aspects of their advanced research, while also expediting the publishing of their findings, Gupta said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking through a pathologist\u2019s microscope and examining the tumor in a patient, that\u2019s the gold standard today,\u201d she said. \u201cThey look through the microscope and look into the tissue of the tumor. Looking at the tissue has a profound impact on most of the treatment decisions, but the task is very laborious today and pretty burdensome.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they\u2019re looking and analyzing tissue, small cells need to be noted and this can be used to determine the stage of the cancer,\u201d she continued. \u201cOur hope is to limit the unidentified data by bringing this technology into the clinical workflow so that while the pathologist is doing that examination, the model overlays and identifies the areas where it may need more focus. Doctors can tell if there are certain areas where they can go deeper, or if certain segments need more attention than others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniels said the world is fast approaching the perfect conditions for a substantial leap forward in terms of machine learning. He claimed society has been inching close to the day when this kind of A.I-related research will yield myriad practical applications that could end up trickling down to the public for mass-use, not unlike many discoveries of the Pentagon\u2019s DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve just invested a ton of research and development (R&D) dollars into pathology specifically and this model is one result of that \u2013 combined with the fact that we are a pioneer in artificial intelligence and machine learning,\u201d Daniels said. \u201cNow, because of the maturity of the technology and our cutting edge A.I. \u2013 coupled with our deep investment in pathology, it\u2019s finally at the right intersection to try to go out and practically apply this at the point of care. Which is to me, the breakthrough \u2013 a sort of \u2018Aha! moment\u2019 associated with this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cTo the extent that we are able to affect military readiness, to drive better outcomes for our service members and veterans \u2013 along with allowing DHA to redeploy funds to other cutting edge research areas \u2013 if we can do that, we\u2019ve made an enormous impact not just medically, but for the country, We are very honored to be part of this project as we try to contribute to the DOD \u2013 and frankly to the entire nation in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initially, the program will focus on \u201ctargeted cancers,\u201d including breast, colon and prostate cancer, cervical dysplasia and lymph node metastasis.<\/p>\n

However, from a technological perspective, the project could expand to include other types of cancers in the future and may also have the potential to yield new artificial intelligence methods, which could be used to seek knowledge outside the initiative\u2019s original focus.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
