Summary
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is partnering with Children's National Hospital and Rady Children’s Hospital to advance artificial intelligence (AI) applications in rare disease detection. Children’s National is using a $1 million grant to develop AI technology for analyzing smartphone images of infants’ facial features, potentially allowing for early diagnosis of genetic disorders. Concurrently, Rady Children’s is applying a $10 million AWS award to implement large language models that aim to streamline genetic testing for children, making it more accessible and efficient. These initiatives highlight the critical role of AI in transforming pediatric healthcare, particularly in expediting the diagnostic process for rare conditions.
