NVIDIA In Healthcare: From Gaming To Medicine

Mostly renowned for its powerful graphics processing unit (GPU) used in the video game industry, NVIDIA is no stranger to healthcare. In fact, it has a dedicated branch to offer solutions that its computing platform can deliver in medicine and was among the first players significantly investing in AI.  These initiatives might have been seen with some confusion five or seven years ago but certainly gave NVIDIA an edge in the past two years. For example when almost a year ago this study was published. The authors trained a large language model for medical language and fine-tuned it across a wide range of clinical and operational predictive tasks, including 30-day all-cause readmission prediction, in-hospital mortality prediction, comorbidity index prediction, length of stay prediction and insurance denial prediction. In March 2024, the company announced the launch of two dozen new, AI-powered healthcare-focused tools. NVIDIA’s recent push into the healthcare sector extends to a collaboration with Hippocratic AI. Together, they’re developing generative AI “agents” designed to enhance tasks such as medication guidance, patient check-ins, and identifying health risks. “For over a decade, we have partnered with the medical devices ecosystem to bring innovative diagnostic imaging, robotic surgery and patient monitoring devices to the market,” Kimberly Powell, Vice President of Healthcare of NVIDIA, told The Medical Futurist in an interview...
