Google and Bayer Launch AI Platform to Transform Radiology

The new AI-powered platform aims to alleviate radiologist workload by automating image analysis and integrating patient histories.

Google Cloud and Bayer AG have collaborated to develop an AI platform designed to support radiologists by automating the analysis of medical images and incorporating patient medical histories.
The platform leverages Google Cloud's generative AI tools to identify anomalies in images and retrieve relevant patient history, aiming to streamline radiologists' workflows.
Scheduled for extended testing in the EU and U.S. later this year, the platform is expected to significantly reduce the time radiologists spend on image analysis and patient record review.
The initiative addresses the increasing global demand for radiologists and the rising volume of medical imaging data, which constitutes about 90% of all healthcare data.
By standardizing for flexible integration across healthcare systems, the platform also facilitates the development, deployment, and continuous improvement of AI-powered medical imaging software.
