Medical artificial intelligence diagnoses rare diseases and treats complex genetic data

Doctors and specialists in health care technology emphasized that artificial intelligence will not be a substitute for doctors, but will be their first assistant, and gives them solutions in aspects related to diagnoses and evaluations followed by a fateful decision related to the patient’s life, especially in rare diseases and dangerous surgeries, as the field of automatic learning and deep learning in the health care system is applied to diagnose diseases, discover medicines, and determine risk factors with Patients, by analyzing x -rays, analyzes of analyzes, providing accurate assessments via high -tech digital devices, use advanced algorithms for prediction and diagnosis, which can reduce errors and the number of diagnosis times, improve the performance of prediction processes, and detect rare diseases of different.

In detail, officials in the health sector and doctors emphasized that medicine has become one of the most important areas benefiting from the development of smart solutions, especially in light of the great potential of artificial intelligence, where artificial intelligence algorithms can process a large number of data, ensure obtaining results in a lesser time, which serves diagnostic processes, proposing treatment plans, processing complex genetic data, interpreting them, and accessing a more accurate diagnosis of cases Various genetic diseases, in addition to avoiding wrong diagnoses, reducing costs and expenses, waste of resources and services, such as unnecessary tests and procedures, while faculties of medicine and health sciences in the country began to develop their curricula designated for doctors in the future, and to introduce artificial intelligence in learning methods.

Avoid disease

The Executive Director of the Research and Innovation Center in the Health Department – Abu Dhabi, Dr. Asma Al -Mannai, said that “the health sector is currently going through a very accelerated stage of development based on scientific and cognitive evidence, and today we can move to the future through the infrastructure in Abu Dhabi – through a platform (file) to exchange health information, in addition to the knowledge that we were able to collect from the Emirati genome program and the infrastructure provided He strongly, adding that “health care has come out of the disease treatment system to a system of avoiding it, and from treatment to prevention, and today we are witnessing in Abu Dhabi this qualitative shift supported by data and artificial intelligence.”

And she continued: «Artificial intelligence and the use of smart learning helps us to shorten many stages of time that we can spend, to raise quality and ensure the accuracy of the diagnosis, give appropriate treatment and prevent side damage, and predict the occurrence of future health risks, and grant decision -makers in the proactive health sector in the disposal in the event of any emergency. Supported to artificial intelligence, and we have many examples that help our hospitals be transformed into smart hospitals backed by modern technologies, including smart pharmacies, radiology systems, and smart radiology.

Regarding the prediction of some of the abolition of artificial intelligence, current medical specialties, Al -Mannai indicated that the jobs will develop, and doctors will have devices and tools that help them in the speed of diagnosis and accuracy, so technical development must be seen as a helping tool for doctors to prepare for the future, stressing that the doctor will not be dispensed with, but the future doctor will be armed with science and knowledge to use artificial intelligence techniques.

Al -Mannai continued: “We are currently working with the medical universities and colleges in the Emirates to amend the health curricula allocated to doctors in the future, to include artificial intelligence, and the use of these techniques in health and medicine,” noting that the Health Department – Abu Dhabi launched the Academy of Artificial Intelligence in the health sector, and many doctors have been graduated.

Rare diseases

“There are now more than 10,000 rare disease, and the rates of these diseases are few, but when we put them together it becomes clear that they affect 5% or 10% of the world’s population. The most popular rare diseases in the Arab region and the Middle East are recessive diseases that are inherited from the father and mother, and these diseases have many symptoms and complications, and a large group of them affects development and growth, and leads to birth defects.

Al -Hattab said: “Artificial intelligence cannot replace the doctor, but it can help in the diagnosis. In the case of rare diseases, their abundance and diversity, artificial intelligence programs can be fed with the symptoms suffered The necessary to confirm the diagnosis. ”

He stressed that the best types of prediction and prevention of rare diseases are pre -marriage and pre -having children, so that we remedy recessive diseases.

Al -Hattab continued: «Artificial intelligence is an auxiliary tool only that blocks the blanks, as there is no doctor who is able to know all the topics, and here is the role of artificial intelligence in helping the doctor and providing him with modern information, and in the end any medical information is obtained from artificial intelligence, it must be reviewed and confirmed, compared to the patient’s condition, and the results of the tests that are made.

AI’s superiority areas

The doctors explained in various specialties: Ahmed Atwan, Rami Iyas, Jacqueline Wright, and Mona Al -Ansari, the presence of areas in which the diagnosis of artificial intelligence is characterized, the most prominent of which is the analysis of medical radiology (such as MRI and X -ray), reading blood tests and interpreting abnormal values, and matching symptoms with huge databases for early detection of diseases, and providing treatment recommendations based on clinical data, in addition to The use of surgical robots to help perform surgeries, allows surgeons to perform complex surgical procedures, with more control, accuracy and elasticity more than ever, as it is characterized by using very accurate tools instead of the surgeon’s hands, in order to penetrate into the body, which reduces the risk of exposure to infection and the possibility of errors, and gives the patient a faster healing after surgery.

They attributed the reason for the superiority of artificial intelligence to its dependence on a huge database through which it can analyze millions of medical records in seconds, the ability to see hidden patterns, discover the accurate relationships between symptoms and laboratory results that may be unclear for the doctor, and conducting an analysis free of bias depends only on data, without being affected by emotional factors or human fatigue, in addition to contributing to avoiding the wrong diagnosis, and reducing Costs, expenses, waste waste, and unnecessary procedures such as tests.

Employment of abilities

The doctors also emphasized: Khaled Shawky, Osama Nayef, and Taif Al -Rubaie that health facilities in the country adopt many innovative techniques that depend on artificial intelligence to enhance diagnosis, personal and careful medicine, and care for patients. Among these technologies is a distance patient monitoring system, in which the capabilities of artificial intelligence and modern visual and visual capabilities are used to monitor patients around the clock, and to monitor their condition, so that any situation requires immediate attention and alert caregivers.

Surgical intervention

The doctors pointed out that artificial intelligence is also used in surgical intervention systems to treat stroke, through two -dimensional and 3D imaging techniques, which is a therapeutic innovation capable of saving the lives of patients with stroke, where artificial intelligence is used to provide a super -quality image by directly re -installing the image, to enable surgeons to overcome the procedure Computerized, starting treatment directly, as this process saves time and gives the surgeons a full perception of the patient’s condition, leading them to achieving better treatment outputs, and reducing the damage of the stroke to the lowest possible.

They pointed out that by combining the capabilities of distinctive artificial intelligence and immediate medical imaging, radiation doses are adjusted during the treatment of cancer patients, based on the careful position of the patient and his organs, which guarantees complete accuracy and reduces the damage to the surrounding sound tissues, and laboratories supported by artificial intelligence currently play a major role in developing innovative solutions to face complex medical challenges, Improving health care results, and raising the level of services provided to patients. The introduction of X -ray -backed X -ray technology in tuberculosis diagnostic centers reached the rate of negative checkpoints wrongly using this system to this day to 0.26%, and the sensitivity rate is 99.73%.

Enhancement of integration

The doctors stressed that the steps to enhance integration between doctors and artificial intelligence should focus on specialized training, to teach doctors how to take advantage of artificial intelligence as an assistant in diagnosis, enhance technical skills to understand the work of algorithms and deep learning, building technology confidence, confirming the use of artificial intelligence as an assistant and not an alternative, and reviewing diagnoses supported by artificial intelligence, so that the doctor has the final decision -making and training on Combining human experience with artificial intelligence to achieve the most accurate diagnoses.
