Alibaba Group Holding’s research arm Damo Academy and Beijing United Family Hospital (BJU), the flagship facility of the private United Family Healthcare network in mainland China, have formed a strategic partnership to use AI in complicated cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The collaboration will leverage Damo Academy’s medical artificial intelligence system, called “One Sweep Multi-Check”, as part of efforts to offer multi-disease AI screening services to the public, according to Monday’s statement from Hangzhou-based Alibaba, owner of the South China Morning Post.
“We look forward to working with Damo Academy to drive the health management gateway for cancer and chronic diseases ever forward with cutting-edge AI screening technology,” BJU president Pan Zhongying said in the statement. She pointed out that the AI-based screening system would “provide more efficient, reliable and people-centred healthcare”.
The collaboration with BJU – a full-service, internationally accredited healthcare provider – showed how far Alibaba’s research arm has bolstered the credentials of its AI-powered cancer detection tools.
