(Adnkronos) - “Ci siamo fatti aiutare da un software di intelligenza artificiale che ha misurato la volumetria delle regioni cerebrali interessate da disturbi della memoria”. Così Giovanni Capobianco, direttore dell’Unità operativa complessa di Geriatria transmurale all’ospedale Territorio Asl Roma2, durante l’evento ‘Radiologia e informatica sanitaria supportata dall’Ai: alla frontiera tecnologica di un nuovo approccio alla cura’, a Milano in occasione del 1° Congresso congiunto dell’Area radiologica.

00:00After the pandemic, we have seen an increase in observed clinical cases of dementia.
00:13In our study, we wanted to bring this attention back to mild cognitive impairment
00:20and to the subjective disorders of memory that people complain about.
00:24In this case, we have been helped not only by clinical narration,
00:29by the need to observe patients and their families,
00:34by advanced neuropsychological tests,
00:37and then by an artificial intelligence software
00:40that has measured the volumetry of the brain regions
00:44interested in memory disorders, in particular hippocampus.
00:48The interesting aspect is that in these people with subjective disorders
00:53or with initial cognitive disorders,
00:58the fate can be different.
01:01Some remain stable, others progress towards more serious disorders,
01:05others even regress.
01:08If we use these three combinations,
01:11we can understand the people who need more comprehensive interventions,
01:17that is, multidisciplinary interventions.
01:20Cognitive training, support for the family,
01:24the need to change lifestyles.
01:27This study has been interesting in my opinion
01:30because it brings together different personalities
01:33and has brought together professionals
01:36who came from totally separate environments.
01:40Artificial intelligence should not be demonized,
01:43it should not be considered as a demon.
01:46This can be done by making it available to many.
01:51My hope is that the systems of artificial intelligence
01:55applied to health can be widely spread.
01:59The other is the possibility of applying them to democratize care,
02:04that is, what is called scalable privilege, not scalability,
02:09that is, the possibility of extending, of modifying the lives of people
02:13and the care for many people through artificial intelligence.
02:18The third element that I care about the most
02:21is that of considering artificial intelligence not separated from man,
02:26but placed on the legs of people, of health workers.
02:32If we do this, we make a truly powerful tool
02:38because behind every health data there is power
02:42and the courage of the medicine of the real world.
