AI and Deep learning for Cervical Cancer

Worldwide, the cancer of the cervix (lower portion of the uterus) is the fourth most common cancer. It is also one of the most common causes of deaths due to cancer in women. Most of my patients that participated in my public health project had wither dementia, Alzheimer's or were frail and sometimes immobile.

No Big data in Healthcare?

The big data revolution is here, on an aggressive growth path, and the patient might truly be the biggest beneficiary of next wave. But hey! Where is that data? 1. More than 65% of data across the globe stay non-digitized. 2. 68% of digitized data isn't integrated with channels or inter-operable systems. 3. 99% problem in delivering effective healthcare is in bad data, old data and No data. The health care system is filled with dreamers, from compassionate nurses and doctors to technology experts, researchers in the lab to people like us- mHealth experts. After careful evaluation of facts, we have arrived at this hypothesis: The need to fully engage patients as a member of the care team is fundamentally about encouraging individuals to become more involved with their healthcare, so they will be motivated to make behavioural changes that can positively impact their health status. Today we do it in 3 ways: 1. Public health programs- where we don't spend much on pervasi...
