BURLINGTON, Mass., June 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Society
for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) virtual annual meeting
this week, Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN)
announced that the Nuance® AI Marketplace for Diagnostic Imaging is
accelerating AI adoption for radiologists at leading US healthcare
systems. By leveraging the unmatched scale of Nuance's diagnostic
imaging platforms, the AI Marketplace offers commercial diagnostic
AI models within existing radiology workflows and a new "Try Before
You Buy" program giving radiologists confidence to use AI models
within their own imaging environment.
At Einstein Healthcare in Philadelphia, for example, Radiology
Department Chair Terence Matalon,
MD, led the effort to quickly integrate the VIDA LungPrint® model,
available through the Nuance AI Marketplace, into PowerScribe™ One
to address the diagnostic challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and
to assist in lung disease management. Einstein Healthcare has
processed nearly 1,400 studies using the solution, which
automatically inserts detailed lung density and other previously
unavailable information directly into radiology reports to be used
by pulmonologists and other lung care specialists for patient
care.
"The workflow integration is very important, and the application
has worked well, importing the information into fields in the
report exactly as we prescribed it to work. From an operational and
technical perspective, it was very easy to implement, and there has
been good congruence between my subjective evaluation of lung
fields and the objective assessment by the software. We are looking
forward to implementing other applications through the Nuance AI
Marketplace in the coming months, and also consolidating other
algorithms already in production," said Dr. Matalon.
The Nuance AI Marketplace leverages the PowerShare™ Network
infrastructure to bring AI directly to 80 percent of radiologists
already using Nuance PowerScribe One, PowerScribe 360 and
PowerScribe Workflow Orchestration solutions. It offers AI
developers a single cloud platform to connect their AI solutions
with radiologists across 7,500+ healthcare facilities that use the
Nuance PowerShare Network, and provides radiologists a one-stop
shop to review, try, validate, and purchase AI models.
"As Nuance and independent industry analysts have often noted,
it's not enough to simply develop AI models. You have to support
adoption by giving developers a scalable market model, by providing
physicians real-time clinical intelligence and solutions that are
integrated into their regular workflows, and by addressing
healthcare administrators' requirements for security, patient
privacy and compatibility with their existing IT infrastructure.
The acceleration of the AI Marketplace signals the widespread
adoption of AI in radiology using our range of diagnostics
solutions," said Karen Holzberger,
Senior Vice President and General Manager of Nuance Healthcare's
Diagnostic Division.
