ROUND
ROCK, Texas, April 5,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dell
Technologies (NYSE: DELL) and Northwestern Medicine are
using AI to innovate and strengthen patient care to deliver
significant advancements in medicine, including the development and
evaluation of a generative multimodal large language model (LLM)
for the interpretation of chest x-rays.
Northwestern Medicine embarked on a mission to use AI to enhance
patient care while reducing physician burnout. Costs and limited
technology capabilities slowed the healthcare provider's ability to
quickly make meaningful advancements. Working with Dell's AI
Innovation Lab, Northwestern Medicine designed and tested workflow
solutions prior to deploying them into their own IT environment
where they achieved a significant milestone: a multimodal LLM that
produced draft x-ray reports, aiding physician decision-making.
"Technology such as AI has the power to speed innovation that
advances human progress. Healthcare is a prime example of where
technology can make an impact and help save lives," said
Jeff Boudreau, chief AI officer at
Dell Technologies. "By combining Dell's technology with
Northwestern Medicine's expertise, we're setting a new standard for
AI-driven healthcare solutions."
Led by Dr. Mozziyar Etemadi, medical director of Advanced
Technologies, Northwestern Medicine, the research and development
team within Northwestern Medicine Information Services is currently
working on several projects that will use Dell's AI technology, and
further push the boundaries of healthcare innovation including a
significantly improved version of its multimodal LLM for radiology
reports and a predictive model for the entire electronic medical
record.
"In healthcare, there is little to no margin for error and a
tremendous amount of good that can be done. When we think about
what AI can do, we don't just see the technology itself, we see the
many patients and lives it will positively impact," said Dr.
Etemadi. "Our work with Dell signifies a major step forward for the
industry in directly creating and applying transformative
technology solutions that directly impact patient care and improve
outcomes."
The platform is built within Northwestern Medicine's existing
secure colocation infrastructure, giving Northwestern confidence to
move forward rapidly with AI initiatives that innovate patient
care.
