Healthcare AI, Medical Device Companies at GTC

GTC brought together dozens of healthcare innovators to present their work -- and announce new AI-accelerated applications and medical devices. More than 200,000 people registered for last week's online conference, where they attended hundreds of sessions spanning industries. The healthcare track included speakers from AstraZeneca, Mayo Clinic, Medtronic, Netherlands Cancer Institute and Pfizer, as well as more than 50 NVIDIA Inception startups. Here's some of the healthcare news shared at the show by NVIDIA, leading research institutions, and AI and medical device companies: Janssen, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson, shared its intelligent automation work using natural language processing models to scan medical literature that reports patients who may have experienced possible side effects. The latest version of the Janssen AI platform, which uses a customized version of BioMegatron using the NVIDIA NeMo framework, was set up in late 2021 to help accelerate the shortlisting of medical literature for human review to analyze drug safety.
