AI in Healthcare: Interview with Dekel Gelbman, CEO of FDNA

Updated April 9, 2023

AI Time Journal

“FDNA’s first NGP technology, DeepGestalt, is an AI-based module that analyzes facial photos of patients to highlight phenotypic similarity to known, but rare genetic disorders. This module was recently published in a peer-reviewed manuscript in Nature Medicine. It analyzes facial photos of patients to produce a list of syndromes that are found to have similar facial characteristics with accuracies of above 90%.”

 

The article explores the transformative impact of AI in healthcare, particularly in diagnosing rare genetic disorders. FDNA’s pioneering Face2Gene platform, which uses facial recognition and AI to detect phenotypic markers indicative of genetic syndromes. This innovative technology dramatically improves diagnostic accuracy and speed, empowering clinicians to make better-informed decisions. It emphasizes the potential of AI to revolutionize personalized medicine, enhancing patient care and outcomes by integrating advanced data analysis into healthcare practices.
