BioSig Invited to Join Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAIH)
Westport, CT, April 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
- Global leaders, including Amazon, Bayer, and GE Healthcare, joined the AAIH to date to collaborate on developing novel solutions to improve the quality of care and reduce failure rates
- The Company recently launched a new AI program with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education
BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM) (“BioSig” or the “Company”), a medical technology company commercializing an innovative signal processing platform designed to improve signal fidelity and uncover the full range of ECG and intra-cardiac signals, today announced that it had been invited by, and accepted, an invitation to join the Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAIH), following BioSig’s major patent awards for its AI-based platform that the Company recently won from the U.S. Patent Office.
The AAIH is the global advocacy organization for the advancement and use of artificial intelligence in healthcare to improve patients’ lives and create more efficient, sustainable, and accessible healthcare systems. The AAIH and its member companies and organizations are dedicated to developing novel interventions and product solutions to reduce failure rates and costs while improving quality across the entire healthcare spectrum from biomedical discovery, clinical research, medical diagnostics and devices, and precision medicine. The initiative, which spans out of the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine, was formally launched in 2019 with 22 founders, including Amazon WS (NASDAQ: AMZN), Bayer (XETR: BAYN), GE Healthcare (NYSE: GE), GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK), and the University of Pittsburgh.
“Artificial intelligence excels at analyzing and uncovering patterns in vast volumes of clinical data – a fundamental building block in improving patient care. BioSig is a company that is committed to providing superior technological solutions based on precise signal information. We believe that a joint effort between various healthcare community representatives is a much-needed step towards solving common challenges and accelerating the adoption of AI-powered solutions. We are excited to join the Alliance and collaborate with its members on our shared goals for improving the standards of patient care,’ commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc.
BioSig recently launched a strategic collaboration with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research to develop a next-generation AI- and machine learning-powered software for the PURE EP™ System. The Company’s platform technology provides signal information during the cardiac ablations for the treatments of arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats, a condition that affects over 33 million people worldwide[1]. Under the terms of the newly launched AI initiative, the Company aims to develop novel technological solutions to improve existing therapies by combining the PURE EP™'s electrophysiological signals and other data sources.
The Company has also announced major strategic collaborations with other subject-matter experts to further the AI and machine learning applications of the PURE EP™ System in their collaboration for AI technical advisory services with Harvard- and MIT-trained computer scientist and physicist, Dr. Wissner-Gross, of Reified. In 2020, the Company co-authored an abstract with Reified, titled ‘Computational Reconstruction of Electrocardiogram Lead Placement,’ that presented a new method for analyzing electrocardiograms that may ultimately help to improve the automated classification of patient conditions.
“This is an exciting time for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in healthcare, and we look forward to contributing to next-generation technological solutions in the space,” responded Dr. Wissner-Gross.
The global market for AI in healthcare is expected to grow from $4.9 billion in 2020 to $45.2 billion by 2026 at an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44.9%. According to Accenture, key clinical health AI applications, when combined, can potentially create $150 billion in annual savings for the United States healthcare economy by 2026.
