Artificial Intelligence to Combat Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria

Artificial Intelligence to Combat Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria – tools, techniques, models, scopes and challenges are discussed. Antibiotic resistance bacteria is one of the key research area of our Compassionate AI Lab. Dr. Amit Ray explains how artificial intelligence can be used in combating these superbugs. Antibiotic resistance bacteria is becoming world’s biggest health crisis. We discussed here multi-agent deep reinforcement learning models for predicting behavior of bacteria and phages in multi-drug environments.  We call this model as DeepCombat. 

Artificial Intelligence to Combat Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria

Antibiotic resistant bacteria are bacteria that are not controlled or killed by antibiotics. They are able to survive and even multiply in the presence of an antibiotic.  These bacteria currently kill an estimated 700,000 people globally each year – a death toll which could rise to 10 million a year by 2050 if we don’t act [1]. The main difficulty is that the bacteria are changing fast. They changing faster than we can change the drugs in response.

 Artificial intelligence is showing alternative means of fighting these deadly infections and killer bacteria. Multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections annually result in millions of hospital days, billions in healthcare costs, and, most importantly, thousands of lives lost. Artificial Intelligence for healthcare is progressing at an exponential rate.  We are evaluating here, the role of artificial intelligence in fighting these superbugs.  Especially, the use of AI for intelligent Phage therapy.Read More »Artificial Intelligence to Combat Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria

Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain for Precision Medicine

Here, we discussed the scopes and implementation issues of artificial intelligence and blockchain for precision medicine. Evidence-based medicine is gradually shifting from therapy to prevention and towards individually tailored precision medicine systems. Where, artificial intelligence can be used to automatically detect problems and threats to patient safety, such as patterns of sub-optimal care or outbreaks of hospital-acquired illness. Artificial intelligence can be used to prevent the issues like drug-interaction, over-diagnosis, over-treatment and under-treatment. It can be used more effectively to solve the problems of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Artificial Intelligence in Precision Medicine

Artificial Intelligence in Precision Medicine

Artificial intelligence in precision medicine is a revolutionary new approach advancing health and wellness, knowledge, and health care delivery to maximize the quality of life for all over a lifetime. The main concept of precision medicine is providing health care which  is individually tailored on the basis of a person’s genes, lifestyle and environment. With the advances in genetics,  artificial intelligence and the growing availability of health data, present an opportunity to make precise personalized patient care a clinical reality. 

It is like cricket. No two cricket ball deliveries, players, — or patients — are exactly alike. No two games or diseases are exactly the same. To win the game every ball, every delivery needs unique strategy. Precision medicine is like that. No two diseases are same, so the treatments will be different and unique.  

AI with precision medicine is a part of artificial intelligence in health care. It brings together innovations in genomics, metabolomics, mobile health, biomedical data sciences, imaging, social engagement and networking, communication, and environmental sciences to make diagnostics, therapeutics, and prevention more individualized, proactive, predictive, and precise. 

Precision medicine often involves the application of panomic analysis and systems biology to analyze the cause of an individual patient’s disease at the molecular level and then to utilize targeted treatments (possibly in combination) to address that individual patient’s disease process.… Read more..
