- AI-verktyget har potentialen att minska arbetsbördan hos patologer, frigöra tid för att fokusera på de svårdiagnostiserade fallen och minska felen i bedömningen, säger Martin Eklund, lektor vid institutionen för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik på Karolinska Institutet som har lett studien. Den har också möjlighet att minska tiden för diagnosbesked och skapa kostnadsbesparingar i vården.
“Our AI tool has the potential to reduce the workload of uropathologists, allowing them to focus on the most difficult cases and at the same time act as a safety net to improve quality.” said Martin Eklund, Associate Professor at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Karolinska Institutet. “It also has the potential to speed up diagnostics and reduce costs for healthcare...
