Clinical Trial Involving 10,000 Chest X-rays that were Successfully Analyzed by AI
The MOU formulates the fundamental cohabitation for the first enormous commercial deployment of Artificial Intelligence learning technology in China. This was carried out after a successful clinical trial involving over 10,000 chest x-rays that were evaluated by the AI.
Over the last couple of years, the private health check industry which makes use of AI, has emanated in China as a vital healthcare management system, granting access to routine check-ups as well as diagnostic services along with medical data motility in the absence of a general practitioner network. Recent revolution has resulted in the current expansion of private healthcare services in China, with roughly about 300 million people using these private healthcare services.

A good number of patients who receive their annual chest x-rays as well as basic check-up services, are at liberty to choose from MRIs, CT studies, genetic testing, and AI.
According to Sally Daub, C.E.O, Enlitic,” Having an in-depth knowledge of the various diagnostic techniques used in analyzing and supporting diagnostic solutions across an emerging network will definitely drive a huge amount of efficiencies in the healthcare delivery. It will also provide ideas on how to ameliorate early detection, disease monitoring and treatment planning. We are so excited at the numerous benefits associated with the use of this large-scale deployment to this millennium age”. The use of Artificial Intelligence will enable Paiyipai to leverage insights from millions of clinical problems to issue out world-leading radiological diagnostic services over a wide range of patient network.
“The scale of the Chinese Health Check market lends itself to the deployment of Artificial Intelligence technology, owing to enormous patient volumes and the deficiency of practicing radiologists. Enlitic technology will hence take measures to provide users with enormous competitive advantage whilst changing the economics of the market,” beamed Andrew Harrison, Managing Director of Capitol Health Limited.
In April 2017, Enlitic technology collaborated with Chinese medical data analysis and storage firm Paiyipai to implement its deep-learning technology for diagnostic imaging in China. Enlitic aims at using this software at private “health centers” according to the memorandum of understanding. The deal was therefore sealed, after a clinical trial involving about ten thousand chest x-rays. These x-rays, where also analyzed by Enlitic’s patient triage platform.
Many thanks to the growth of private healthcare services in China which has led to a significant growth in the use of health-check services.
