A University of Alberta research team will use artificial intelligence to diagnose and treat stroke patients more quickly and easily, potentially saving lives and improving prognosis. The research is funded by a grant from Alberta Innovates.
The project - entitled "An agile AI pipeline for urgent health conditions requiring diagnostic imaging" - will receive $799,662 over three years from a fund aimed at improving health care using AI applications. It is one of five newly funded U of A projects announced today (May 29).
"Our program provides the necessary research funding to help companies and innovators identify and overcome roadblocks to the broader use of artificial intelligence," says Laura Kilcrease, CEO of Alberta Innovates. "The goal is faster and better health care for Albertans and the development of new technologies right here in Alberta that can be exported around the world."
