Nothing beats coffee from a capsule machine in terms of convenience. And yet coffee pods require - and waste - more resources than all other methods of making coffee. Is there no way to make coffee that's both sustainable and convenient?
KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry is open to considering using artificial intelligence to detect diseases, especially cancer, in public hospitals, says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad .
“However, the benefits and potential of this technology must be carefully assessed to ensure that AI is truly impactful and safe to use within the country’s healthcare system,” he said. “MaHTAS has also conducted evaluations of other AI-related technologies, such as early tuberculosis detection using chest X-rays and portable ultrasound applications integrated with AI,” he said.
Currently, he said field-testing and broader implementation for lung cancer detection using AI are underway at the National Cancer Institute and will soon be extended to Cyberjaya Hospital, Kajang Hospital, and Putrajaya Hospital. For breast cancer screenings or mammograms, Dzulkefly said MaHTAS revealed initial findings highlight AI's potential to support screening, but the available evidence remains limited.
