University in Shanghai launches AI model to support children’s brain health

Fudan University in Shanghai, in collaboration with its affiliated Children’s Hospital, has unveiled a new AI-powered large model specifically designed to support children’s brain health. This is reported by China Daily, a partner of TV BRICS.

The initiative integrates advanced artificial intelligence with clinical knowledge and original research outcomes developed at the hospital, a leading national centre for paediatric medicine.

The model combines evidence-based medical guidelines with multi-modal technologies provided by a partnering enterprise. This integration is expected to improve the model’s performance in real-world clinical settings, particularly in diagnosing and managing neurological conditions in children..

According to Wang Yi, President of the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University, the model enables the upload of medical records and test results from various institutions. It produces in-depth evaluation reports by analysing a wide range of inputs, including screening questionnaires, clinical symptoms, and electroencephalograms (EEGs). 

In addition to clinical use, the model is also intended to support families and schools by enabling brain health assessments in multiple settings.
