Google is reportedly developing an AI-microscope that can detect cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has developed a prototype called Augmented Reality Microscope (ARM)<\/a> in collaboration with the US Department of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Google's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like a typical microscope, but this one is connected to a computer tower that houses the AI models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a glass slide is put under the microscope, the AI is able to outline where <\/a>cancer is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This outline appears as a bright green line that pathologists can see through their eyepiece and on the monitor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond mere detection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AI can also tell how bad the cancer is, by generating a black and white heat map that shows the boundary of the cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doctor, Nadeem Zafar used it to confirm the severity of a prostate cancer case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AI detected the exact part of the tumor that Zafar believed to be more aggressive than a colleague did in a debate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the beauty of this technology, it\u2019s kind of an arbitrator <\/a>of sorts\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It uses a combination of Machine Learning (ML) and Augmented Reality (AR) techniques that can help identify cancer in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes the detection process easier for doctors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts believe it will help doctors in smaller labs facing workforce shortages and growing caseloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data privacy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aashima Gupta, global director of healthcare strategy and solutions at Google Cloud, the company has launched four <\/a>algorithms for the ARM which can identify breast cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer and mitosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AI models are trained on data from the DIU, and Gupta said neither Google employees nor Google infrastructure have access to it, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further testing required <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are currently 13 ARMs in existence<\/a>, and one is located at a Mitre facility in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers there are working with the ARM to identify vulnerabilities that could cause issues in a clinical setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The microscope has not been used in the field yet and will require more testing before it is made available to clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price, availability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google wrote in a blog post that it intends to build a system that could be retrofitted in existing light microscopes found in clinics and hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Department of Defense’s Innovation Unit has negotiated a deal with Google for providing ARM in the military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final product is expected to cost between $90,000 – $100,000, putting it out <\/a>of reach for more local hospitals and clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ARM is hoped to become available to all government users sometime this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
