Google and DoD Develop AI-Powered Microscope to Help Detect Cancer
-
Google and the Department of Defense are building an AI-powered microscope called the Augmented Reality Microscope (ARM) to help doctors detect cancer.
-
The ARM uses AI to outline cancer locations and provide information about cancer severity on a digital overlay displayed through the microscope.
-
The ARM is meant to serve as a second opinion for pathologists, especially those in remote locations without easy access to consultations.
-
Initial research on the ARM's ability to detect breast cancer metastasis shows promise but more rigorous testing is still needed.
-
The goal is for the ARM to become commercially available to improve cancer diagnosis with its accuracy, speed and cost-effectiveness.
