NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fractal
(www.fractal.ai), a global provider of artificial intelligence (AI)
and advanced analytics solutions to Fortune 500® companies,
announced the launch of vaidya.ai, a healthcare AI platform
designed to provide free and accessible healthcare assistance to
individuals. This follows Fractal's earlier launches of
marshallgoldsmith.ai (coaching assistant) and kalaido.ai (a free
text to image generator in 17 Indian languages).
vaidya.ai ranks among the top-performing AI models, showcasing
its ability to understand and interpret medical information with
high performance. It scored an average accuracy of 83% when tested
on 20 plus years of Post-Graduate NEET/PG-Med examination - a
national level entrance exam in India to determine eligibility of candidates
for admission to postgraduate medical programs in top medical
colleges. Fractal has meticulously trained the model on a curated
dataset comprising over 850,000 plus images and text entries, which
was collected through open-source, data-annotation, data-collection
and synthetic datasets among others. This comprehensive
training includes multiple Vision-Language Models (VLM) and Large
Language Models (LLM), including one with over 30 billion
parameters, ensuring the delivery of reliable responses to
users.
"The Fractal AI research team is dedicated to unlocking
solutions to complex challenges and creating a meaningful impact
for the world. vaidya.ai represents a significant step forward in
making healthcare more accessible to everyone. Our goal with
vaidya.ai is to enhance people's access by providing timely,
reliable healthcare information," said Srikanth Velamakanni,
Co-founder, Group Chief Executive & Vice Chairman, Fractal.
vaidya.ai offers users free access to interact with the model
through both text and images, all without the need for any fees or
subscriptions. It can interpret health reports, answer queries in
multiple languages, and provide context-specific information. For
instance, users can upload health reports and receive summaries in
both English, Hindi and other Indian languages, making healthcare
information more accessible to non-English speaking
populations.
"vaidya.ai is designed to augment healthcare information and
doesn't intend to replace medical advice from medical
professionals," said Suraj Amonkar,
Chief AI Research and Platforms Officer at Fractal. "The
development involved training models and frameworks using LLM and
VLM architectures and validating the models on 20+ years of PG
NEET/ PG Medical examination papers, among other metrics to measure
how well the models performed. While it offers valuable insights
and information, it always encourages users to consult healthcare
professionals for medical advice."
As part of its commitment to continuous improvement, Fractal
plans to expand vaidya.ai's capabilities further. Future updates
will include more specialized medical models and enhanced
multimodal functionalities, ensuring that vaidya.ai evolves with
the needs of the healthcare community.
