Semantic technologies for industry: From knowledge modeling and integration to intelligent applications
2013
Artificial Intelligence technologies are growingly used within several software systems ranging from Web services to mobile applications. It is by no doubt true that the more AI algorithms and methods are used the more they tend to depart from a pure "AI" spirit and end to refer to the sphere of standard software. In a sense, AI seems strongly connected with ideas, methods and tools that are not (yet) used by the general public. On the contrary, a more realistic view of it would be a rich and pervading set of successful paradigms and approaches. Industry is currently perceiving semantic technologies as a key contribution of AI to innovation. In this paper a survey of current industrial expe…
Artificial intelligence: the unstoppable revolution in ophthalmology.
2020
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an unstoppable force that is starting to permeate all aspects of our society as part of the revolution being brought into our lives (and into medicine) by the digital era, and accelerated by the current COVID-19 pandemic. As the population ages and developing countries move forward, AI-based systems may be a key asset in streamlining the screening, staging, and treatment planning of sight-threatening eye conditions, offloading the most tedious tasks from the experts, allowing for a greater population coverage, and bringing the best possible care to every patient. This paper presents a review of the state of the art of AI in the field of ophthalmology, focusin…
Identifying relevant segments of AI applications adopters : Expanding the UTAUT2’s variables
2021
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a future-defining technology, and AI applications are becoming mainstream in the developed world. Many consumers are adopting and using AI-based apps, devices, and services in their everyday lives. However, research examining consumer behavior in using AI apps is scant. We examine critical factors in AI app adoption by extending and validating a well-established unified theory of adoption and use of technology, UTAUT2. We also explore the possibility of unobserved heterogeneity in consumers’ behavior, including potentially relevant segments of AI app adopters. To augment the knowledge of end users’ engagement and relevant segments, we have added two new antec…
Decision support system for telemedicine based on multiple expertise
2002
This paper discusses results of the research in the area of artificial intelligence applications in telemedicine. The main goal of research is to manage multiple expertise obtained from experts-physicians in different countries to develop decision support medical system of broad earmarking based on telecommunication tools. The multilevel representation of medical data is discussed based on the apparatus of metastatistics. The technique is able to acquire semantically essential information from complex dynamics of quasi-periodical medical signals by applying recursively ordinary statistical tools. The voting-type technique is used to find consensus among medical experts in their description …
Identifying opportunities for AI applications in healthcare — Renewing the national healthcare and social services
2018
A vast variety of artificial intelligence techniques have been deployed to specific healthcare problems during the last thirty years with varying levels of success while there is a shortage of systematic matching of AI capabilities with the breadth of application opportunities. In this paper, we describe the process of identifying opportunities for deploying artificial intelligence to healthcare and social services on regional and national levels in Finland. The project involved a large number of stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds ranging from governmental agencies to entrepreneurs. The process described includes idea generation of an application or solution and its elaboration in w…
Deep 3D Convolution Neural Network for Alzheimer’s Detection
2020
One of the most well-known and complex applications of artificial intelligence (AI) is Alzheimer’s detection, which lies in the field of medical imaging. The complexity in this task lies in the three-dimensional structure of the MRI scan images. In this paper, we propose to use 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (3D-CNN) for Alzheimer’s detection. 3D-CNNs have been a popular choice for this task. The novelty in our paper lies in the fact that we use a deeper 3D-CNN consisting of 10 layers. Also, with effectively training our model consisting of Batch Normalization layers that provide a regularizing effect, we don’t have to use any transfer learning. We also use the simple data augmentation te…
Artificial Intelligence for Hospital Health Care:Application Cases and Answers to Challenges in European Hospitals
2021
The development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in health care contexts is a concurrent research and management question. Especially for hospitals, the expectations regarding improved efficiency and effectiveness by the introduction of novel AI applications are huge. However, experiences with real-life AI use cases are still scarce. As a first step towards structuring and comparing such experiences, this paper is presenting a comparative approach from nine European hospitals and eleven different use cases with possible application areas and benefits of hospital AI technologies. This is structured as a current review and opinion article from a diverse range of…
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: Today and Tomorrow
2020
Artificial intelligence-powered medical technologies are rapidly evolving into applicable solutions for clinical practice. Deep learning algorithms can deal with increasing amounts of data provided by wearables, smartphones, and other mobile monitoring sensors in different areas of medicine. Currently, only very specific settings in clinical practice benefit from the application of artificial intelligence, such as the detection of atrial fibrillation, epilepsy seizures, and hypoglycemia, or the diagnosis of disease based on histopathological examination or medical imaging. The implementation of augmented medicine is long-awaited by patients because it allows for a greater autonomy and a mor…
