AI-powered knee cartilage assessment
(Augmented intelligences, Case studies)
Who: CSIRO and the University of Queensland
What: Successfully commercialised in 2023 after 15 years of development and testing, the assessment algorithm takes 2D magnetic resonance (MR) images and converts them into the much more expensive (and thus less commonly ordered) 3D versions. By automating this process, the algorithm can increase the quality of scans, provide earlier detection of knee osteoarthritis, and save healthcare costs. The CSIRO algorithm has the additional benefit of creating images that can be more accurately analysed by diagnostic AI algorithms. By presenting the images in AI-readable forms, it further expands the possibilities for rapid AI-powered diagnoses at a time when the demand for radiologist reviews is outstripping supply.

By integrating seamlessly into existing healthcare workflows, MedAware's solution supports healthcare providers in making safer, more informed prescribing decisions, thereby reducing the risk of medication errors and improving patient outcomes. The platform also addresses challenges like alert fatigue by refining the accuracy of its notifications, ensuring that healthcare professionals receive only the most pertinent alerts. This approach not only enhances patient safety but also optimizes the efficiency of healthcare operations.
Read moreAI-powered mental health analysis through gaming and social media
(Augmented intelligences, Case studies)
Who: RMIT School of Health and Biomedical Sciences in collaboration with Mighty Serious & Catholic Care Victoria School program.
What: This project decodes mental health information by analysing gaming and social media data. It explores how gamers' bonds with their avatars can predict depression risk, using AI classifiers to analyse longitudinal data from 565 participants. For social media, it uses natural language processing to analyse 233,000 tweets, achieving high accuracy in predicting anxiety diagnoses. This integration aims to identify mental health issues early, demonstrating the potential for AI-driven mental health interventions.
Read morePredictive intelligence for mosquito-borne diseases
(Augmented intelligences, Case studies)
Who: Blue Dot
What: BlueDot employs predictive intelligence to forecast global climatic suitability for Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes under various climate change scenarios projected for the next decade. This allows health services to plan for any forecast increases in the incidence of mosquito-borne illnesses. BlueDot's methodology utilises a gradient-boosted regression tree model, integrating data on precipitation, surface temperature, and elevation. Historical mosquito occurrence data informs the model, which predicts suitability at a detailed resolution of 5km by 5km. The model accounts for three climate change pathways: SSP 1-2.6 (best-case scenario), SSP 2-4.5 (most-likely scenario), and SSP 5-8.5 (worst-case scenario) from the 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project.
