Nowadays, Al is being applied more and more frequently in various industries, including in vitro diagnostics. Taking hematology analyzer as an example, under the constant update and iteration, various hematology analyzer products such as 3-part, 5-part and analysis workstation have appeared, which have a great innovation and improvement, Then, what are the trends of future hematology products? Al will be one of them.
In the high-end market for hematology products, including specialized hospitals like cancer hospitals, maternity and child hospitals, the comprehensive diagnosis of diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma and special anemia is increasingly challenging.
At the request of the WHO, abnormal hematological diseases are generally combined with a variety of test results, such as CBC test, cell morphology, cytogenetics, etc., to further help the diagnosis. As we know, hematology analysis is generally the first tool of malignant blood diseases. At the same time, the application of Al technology will bring new ideas to the initial screening of special diseases in blood analysis.
Nowadays, there are so many parameters on the hematology analyzers, most of which can only provide simple Flag information. When doctors are faced with a large amount of data but do not have enough time to analyze and process it, they may experience "information confusion" or "information overload". As the information accumulates, clinicians will be affected by excessive workload, resulting in omission of a lot of critical information. |
Clinicians could benefit substantially from the application of Al-based approaches, which could reduce the workload, merge knowledge of different experts, decrease turn-around time and minimize technically induced misclassifications. The accurate interpretation of results depends a lot on a doctor's level of experience and reliable Al-based clinical prompt systems could establish confidence in unexperienced clinicians as well as provide new ideas for auxiliary diagnosis of diseases. |
