AI Image Annotation Solution for Medical Assessment

Our client is one of the leading healthcare organizations in the US. They required a way to enhance their services by implementing a medical diagnostic AI solution that was supposed to recognize various medical conditions. The innovative solution had to support healthcare professionals in analyzing images and patient data for preliminary diagnoses to enhance the speed and accuracy of patient assessment and treatment planning.

We divided the project into two stages:

• Image Labeling and Filtering: Our Data Annotation team labeled images with a particular emphasis on Regions of Interest (ROI). They paid close attention to delivering thorough information on body part identification, skin type classification according to the Fitzpatrick scale, and lesion detection. Only high-quality images passed into the training set.
• ROI Evaluation and Diagnostic Input: The annotated images were examined by certified dermatologists, initially based on the patient’s demographic data and their case histories. They gave differential diagnoses with a degree of confidence for each possible condition and, when required, allowed for manual input.

By leveraging such a well-curated dataset, our Machine Learning engineers developed Deep Learning algorithms, specifically CNNs, to analyze intricate patterns in medical images and arrive at predictions with high diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, HIPAA-compliant security features ensured data privacy and regulatory compliance throughout the project.
