Worcester, Mass.-based UMass Chan Medical School has partnered with South Korea-based Hallym University on an AI application to expand healthcare access for rural stroke patients.
Hallym University has designed an application that allows rural physicians to upload data from patients with intracranial hemorrhage and consult with a university neurosurgeon, according to an Oct. 1 news release from UMass Chan. As part of the collaboration's first phase, UMass Chan will test the platform on existing patient data, the release said.
"Hallym University is a leader in digital health and AI, and this partnership will lead to accelerating our research in digital medicine," Jeroan Allison, MD, chair and professor of population and quantitative health sciences at the medical school, said in the release. "It will lead to further funding opportunities, and it will position us on the international stage of AI research."
