B.C. testing AI tools for rapid disease diagnosis

Provincial labs in B.C. are testing AI for more rapid disease diagnosis, including cancer. The province says the digital tools will allow researchers to share high-quality images in other B.C. locations, allowing them to perform faster diagnoses or get a second opinion. The province believes the tools could revolutionize healthcare and save more lives. The federal government and the province are investing $2.65 million to support three projects, which will reshape how pathology services are delivered in B.C.
