In this article, we survey the current status of AI in healthcare, as well as discuss its future. Guided by relevant clinical questions, powerful AI techniques can unlock clinically relevant information hidden in the massive amount of data, which in turn can assist clinical decision making. The increasing availability of healthcare data and rapid development of big data analytic methods has made possible the recent successful applications of AI in healthcare. We believe that human physicians will not be replaced by machines in the foreseeable future, but AI can definitely assist physicians to make better clinical decisions or even replace human judgement in certain functional areas of healthcare (eg, radiology). Recently AI techniques have sent vast waves across healthcare, even fuelling an active discussion of whether AI doctors will eventually replace human physicians in the future. Overview of the medical artificial intelligence (AI) research We conclude with discussion about pioneer AI systems, such as IBM Watson, and hurdles for real-life deployment of AI. We then review in more details the AI applications in stroke, in the three major areas of early detection and diagnosis, treatment, as well as outcome prediction and prognosis evaluation.
Major disease areas that use AI tools include cancer, neurology and cardiology. Popular AI techniques include machine learning methods for structured data, such as the classical support vector machine and neural network, and the modern deep learning, as well as natural language processing for unstructured data. AI can be applied to various types of healthcare data (structured and unstructured). We survey the current status of AI applications in healthcare and discuss its future. It is bringing a paradigm shift to healthcare, powered by increasing availability of healthcare data and rapid progress of analytics techniques. It also supports HDR and HDR10+ standards.Artificial intelligence (AI) aims to mimic human cognitive functions.
Snapdragon 888 Plus supports up to 4K display at 60Hz or QHD+ at 144Hz. Further, the chipset includes support for GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, NavIC, and SBAS.
Connectivity options include up to Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth v5.2, and NFC. The chipset also offers Quick Charge 5 support that claims to fully charge a phone in less than 15 minutes.
Snapdragon 888 Plus supports full suite of Snapdragon Elite Gaming features that include Variable Rate Shading for faster graphics performance and Qualcomm Game Quick Touch for increased display responsiveness. The chipset also brings 10-bit colour depth in the HEIF format for capturing vivid colours. It is able to capture three 28-megapixel photos or three 4K HDR videos at once, capture 120 fps burst photo at 12-megapixel, offer AI-based auto-focus and auto-exposure, and a new low-light architecture that is claimed to help capture brighter photos, even in near-darkness. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 Plus has a Spectra 580 ISP that enables triple concurrent capture with parallel processing at up to 2.7 gigapixels per second. Qualcomm has announced that commercial handsets based on Snapdragon 888 Plus are expected to be announced in the third quarter of 2021. Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 enables the latest Wi-Fi standards for fast speed download. Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus has an Adreno 660 GPU and a Snapdragon X60 5G modem with 7.5 Gbps top DL speed. Apart from this, everything else pretty much remains unchanged. The sixth-gen Qualcomm Hexagaon 780 AI processor can now deliver 32 TOPS instead of 26 TOPS on the regular Snapdragon 888 SoC. The big difference is that the Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC has a Kryo 680 core clock with the speed boosted to 2.995GHz. Apart from this, the new Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC is pretty much the same as its sibling that was launched last December, and the new model looks to power new flagships launching in the second half of 2021.
The new processor is a slight upgrade to the Snapdragon 888 SoC and it offers an increased Qualcomm Kryo 680 CPU Prime core clock speed at up to 3.0 GHz and is equipped with the 6th-generation Qualcomm AI Engine with up to 32 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) AI performance, that the company claims is more than 20 percent improvement. Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus SoC has been announced for flagship phones at MWC 2021.
