Abu Dhabi’s AI algorithms to deliver health diagnoses in a heartbeat

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

MBZUAI researchers led by Dr. Mohammad Yaqub are developing AI algorithms for real-time medical diagnoses, including tools for multiple sclerosis and congenital heart disease. The team developed ScanNav, an AI fetal anomaly assessment system licensed by GE Healthcare for Voluson SWIFT ultrasound machines. ScanNav assists doctors during anomaly scans after 20 weeks of gestation to check for conditions like heart issues and spina bifida. Why it matters: This research has the potential to significantly improve the speed and accuracy of medical diagnoses in the UAE and beyond, addressing critical gaps in healthcare.

Yaqub finds the “magic” of AI in healthcare

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

Dr. Mohammad Yaqub, an Assistant Professor at MBZUAI, leads the BioMedIA lab and focuses on applying AI to real-world healthcare challenges, particularly in smart imaging. He was inspired by a textbook by Tom Mitchell and his work at Oxford University where he helped develop ScanNav, an AI solution aiding sonographers in anomaly scans during pregnancy. ScanNav assists in assessing fetal growth and detecting abnormalities, potentially improving early intervention. Why it matters: This highlights the growing importance of AI in enhancing medical diagnostics and improving healthcare outcomes in the UAE and globally.
