Signify Premium Insight: IBM’s RSNA AI Platform Push

At RSNA 2021, IBM Watson Health revealed a new cloud-based AI orchestration platform, which the vendor says will allow health networks to deploy and use medical AI applications more easily and efficiently. The new platform is vendor neutral and, IBM believes  that along with its existent marketplace, will help providers solve the ‘last mile’ challenges of selecting, deploying and integrating imaging tools from multiple AI developers into their clinical workflows.

The Signify View

Signify Research’s Machine Learning in Medical Imaging report has, for several years, highlighted that one of the key barriers to greater AI adoption is the current lack of its integration into clinical workflows. The advantages of a key AI solution could be myriad and profound, but that will count for naught if providers are faced with challenges around integrating these tools and doctors are unable to utilise the tools easily and effectively in their everyday clinical practice.
