Building the Next Generation AI tools for Personalized Treatment

4. 4
Personalized treatment can be achieved through building the end-to-end
analysis tool, which can perform the image analysis to Biomarker Analysis
to Gene Analysis to Blood Analysis of each patient to predict their response
to any therapy
Image Analysis

Gene Expression
Analysis
Blood Analysis
A treatment should not be “one-fits-all” approach
Identify the patients who respond to the medicine based on their biomarkers
