AI as a means to prevent cancer, the need for Medical Data
Cancer was the second leading cause of death, after heart disease, in the United States in 2020 1, and although its mortality is decreasing over the course of the decades (from 196.5 to 144.1 deaths per 100,000 population from 2001 to 2020 2), there is still plenty of margin of improvement. For example, lung cancer alone is responsible for two million deaths worldwide in 2019. About 75% of those who have it, die within five years of diagnosis. But the situation improves drastically if the disease is found early: if tumours are still small, the mortality rate decreases as low as 33%. Prevention and screening are then fundamental tools to fight this disease, and AI may help us scale and

How Data Saves Lives – The Case of Sepsis
What is sepsis Sepsis is one of the oldest known diseases – it was Hippocrates himself who gave it a name around 2,400 years ago. It is also one of the most deadly ones. Sepsis is responsible for more deaths annually than prostate cancer, AIDS and breast cancer combined. It has claimed the lives of millions of people (including two US Presidents and one Pope), and it now costs the US healthcare system more than $20 billion a year through insurance payments to doctors and hospitals1.
