145 - Collaborators: Project InnerEye with Javier Alvarez and Raj Jena

Transforming research ideas into meaningful impact requires collaboration between individuals from different disciplines and institutions. In this episode of Collaborators, a series from Microsoft Research Podcast, Dr. Gretchen Huizinga talks with Microsoft Health Futures Senior Director Javier Alvarez and Dr. Raj Jena, a radiation oncologist at Addenbrooke's Hospital, about Project InnerEye. This Microsoft Research project applies machine learning to medical image analysis and has resulted in the creation of an AI system that helps decrease the time cancer patients have to wait to begin treatment.

Alvarez and Jena discuss the 10+ year collaborative journey that resulted in this life-changing solution and the validation process that Addenbrooke's Hospital employed to meet regulatory requirements for clinical use. The episode also covers the important role of patients in incorporating AI into healthcare, clinician productivity, patient outcomes, and other related healthcare topics.

Listeners will enjoy insights into the AI-assisted medical imaging project, its open-source availability, and the efforts to improve cancer patient outcomes.
