tl;dr: AI is revolutionizing healthcare by enabling personalized, data-driven care and accelerating breakthroughs. From cancer research to faster diagnoses, Dell’s AI-powered solutions are driving innovation. With advanced infrastructure, clinicians and researchers are improving outcomes, enhancing precision, and shaping the future of medicine—all while safeguarding patient privacy.
The future of healthcare is being shaped by organizations taking advantage of AI to deliver smarter, more connected care. Last week, we shared how our work with The Guthrie Clinic is revolutionizing rural healthcare. That story is just one part of a larger movement where innovators are using technology to drive medical discoveries and improve patient outcomes.
Advancing research with AI-powered infrastructure
The impact of AI is being felt in the fight against cancer. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), teams are united by a singular mission: ending cancer for life. Researchers are using advanced infrastructure that includes AI-driven solutions to help reduce research timelines and accelerate breakthroughs. That combination of technology, science and research leads to treatment and personalized plans for MSK’s patients, with enhanced speed and precision.
In an interview at Dell Technologies World, Jessica Audette, head of high-performance computing at MSK, shared how oncologists, running research on the institution’s supercomputer, conducted an FDA-approved rectal cancer clinical trial that saw a 100% remission rate, showcasing the life-saving potential of understanding data at scale.
Enhancing detection and diagnosis with AI
At Northwestern Medicine, clinicians are exploring the use of AI in colonoscopies to support video analysis and assist in detecting precancerous polyps. Powered by the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, including high-performance Dell PowerEdge servers with NVIDIA GPUs and Dell Pro Max workstations, the team is reducing inference times from minutes to seconds. This approach could one day help clinicians identify critical markers that might otherwise go unnoticed, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the procedure.
Northwestern Medicine also worked with us to develop ARIES, the Automated Radiology Interpretation and Evaluation System, a GenAI solution that, in a recent research study, accelerated the interpretation of x-rays to aid physician decision-making.
Accelerating insights for pediatric and precision medicine
Fulgent Genetics is using AI to drive valuable insights crucial for patient treatment. Dell PowerEdge servers and scalable Dell PowerStore storage provide a foundation to speed genetic testing and analysis. This robust infrastructure, combined with AI applications, helps Fulgent handle large amounts of genetic data efficiently and enhance cancer detection by advancing tools like cancer heat maps, image quality assessments and tumor measurements. This means clinicians can get faster, more precise information, leading to earlier diagnoses, personalized treatment plans and improved patient care.
AI can also help the youngest patients. In Germany, the Hopp Children’s Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ) is making strides in pediatric oncology. With the combination of AI, Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell PowerScale storage, KiTZ has reduced tumor analysis time by 60%. This allows clinicians to move from days-long waits to receiving results within hours, helping healthcare teams more quickly identify subtle cancer markers and swiftly deliver targeted, life-saving care to children.
Opening doors to healthcare innovation
These stories highlight the transformative power of AI and the critical role technology plays in enabling healthcare progress. By bringing AI directly to where sensitive patient data lives, healthcare organizations can innovate securely and deliver smarter, more connected and personalized care without compromising patient privacy.
