class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-location">BERLIN</span></span>, <span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-chron">April 9, 2024</span></span> /<a href="http://www.prnewswire.com/" target="_blank">PRNewswire</a>/ -- <b>Cloud Next '24, <span class="xn-location">LAS VEGAS</span> </b>-- Bayer and Google Cloud today announced a collaboration on the development of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to support radiologists and ultimately better serve patients. As part of the collaboration, Bayer will further develop its innovation platform to accelerate the development and deployment of AI-powered healthcare applications with a clear focus on radiology, using Google Cloud's technology, including its generative AI (gen AI) tools. The collaboration aims to help organizations overcome many of the challenges to building scalable and compliant AI-powered medical imaging software products using leading data security capabilities, and accelerate the development of potentially groundbreaking and impactful solutions that ultimately benefit patients.</p> <div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference" id="DivAssetPlaceHolder1"> <p><a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1032194/Google_Cloud_Logo.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img alt="Google Cloud Logo (PRNewsfoto/Google Cloud)" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1032194/Google_Cloud_Logo.jpg" title="Google Cloud Logo (PRNewsfoto/Google Cloud)" /> </a></p> </div> <p>"Radiology plays a vital role in healthcare, and the need to efficiently and accurately uncover insights and deliver solutions at scale that can improve patient outcomes has never been greater," said <span class="xn-person">Nelson Ambrogio</span>, president, Radiology at Bayer. "Bayer has a heritage in radiology with decades of contributions to radiological research and innovation. Through the collaboration with Google Cloud, our joint efforts will help organizations in the healthcare and life science industry transform the growing amounts of data into valuable and impactful insights, saving radiologists time and helping them optimize their important work for the benefit of patients."</p> <p>"Radiologists and other clinicians face burnout due to the sheer volume of work they face every day. Gen AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and provide insights into massive data sets, saving valuable time and helping to positively impact patient outcomes," said <span class="xn-person">Thomas Kurian</span>, CEO of Google Cloud. "We look forward to our continued collaboration with Bayer as it shapes the future of diagnostics and helps its customers deliver insights to patients with greater accuracy and speed."</p> <p>Medical imaging data accounts for about 90 percent of all healthcare data, and it is a highly complex and rich clinical data modality and a very critical tool used to diagnose patients. Billions of medical images get scanned globally each year and this number continues to grow increasing the workload for radiologists and other healthcare professionals tasked with handling and interpreting these images for clinicians and patients. Many new supportive AI tools need to be developed and maintained to handle and analyze this enormous amount of data efficiently.</p> <p>Bayer's innovation platform provides a cloud-native pipeline from product idea to launch:</p> <ul type="disc"> <li><b>Analyze and experiment: </b>The users will be able to uncover insights with AI-powered data analysis, and help design breakthrough healthcare solutions by accessing a data ecosystem, as well as using intelligent search and data preparation capabilities.
