The evolution of innovative artificial intelligence (AI) systems in pediatric hospitals in Japan promises benefits for patients and healthcare providers. We actively contribute to advancements in groundbreaking medical treatments by leveraging deep learning technology and using vast medical datasets. Our team of data scientists closely collaborates with departments within the hospital. Our research themes based on deep learning are wide-ranging, including acceleration of pathological diagnosis using image data, distinguishing of bacterial species, early detection of eye diseases, and prediction of genetic disorders from physical features. Furthermore, we implement Information and Communication Technology to diagnose pediatric cancer. Moreover, we predict immune responses based on genomic data and diagnose autism by quantifying behavior and communication. Our expertise extends beyond research to provide comprehensive AI development services, including data collection, annotation, high-speed computing, utilization of machine learning frameworks, design of web services, and containerization. In addition, as active members of medical AI platform collaboration partnerships, we provide unique data and analytical technologies to facilitate the development of AI development platforms. Furthermore, we address the challenges of securing medical data in the cloud to ensure compliance with stringent confidentiality standards. We will discuss AI's advancements in pediatric hospitals and their challenges.
