Trend Micro will showcase recent cybersecurity tools running on Nvidia chips at the Computex conference this week, according to Reuters.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT
Healthcare organizations are using artificial intelligence to reduce the burden of documentation between groups and can pull data from their networks – including electronic health records – into one place where hackers can participate in their efforts to compromise security, extort ransom and selling health care data.
“They break into the enterprise and find a huge trove of information,” Kevin Simzer, Trend Micro’s chief operating officer, told Reuters.
Simzer also told a news outlet in Taiwan on Sunday that the tools could also be used to protect data fed into artificial intelligence systems, including generative AI chatbots, which may contain protected information.
Nvidia AI calculations are used, for example, to improve patient risk assessment.
According to the company, the National Institute of Health Research and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan exploit artificial intelligence to predict the risk of chronic diseases by analyzing various genetic and environmental parameters.
“This level of analysis was previously unattainable due to computational limitations,” said Dr. Hung-Yi Chiou, director of the Population Health Sciences Institute at NHRI, in the Nvidia report blog post Sunday.
A BIGGER TREND
Many of the technology platforms that healthcare organizations exploit now have artificial intelligence integration that leverages provider data, and many more will appear in mobile applications that providers and patients will have access to.
Last year, Salesforce announced integration with cloud automation and artificial intelligence that creates real-time patient profiles based on data from EHRs and other systems. Many vendors offer similar chatbot-based access to streamline operations.
Amanda Bury, chief commercial officer at Infermedica, a digital health company specializing in AI-based systems for symptom analysis and patient triage, said last month that AI can optimize patient portals and mobile experiences.
“By integrating artificial intelligence tools with established patient-facing technologies, such as patient portals or mobile applications, healthcare organizations can aid guide patients to the most appropriate care options, including telemedicine, based on their specific health profile, medical history and current symptoms “. – Bury said.
While genAI can aid better serve patient needs, phishing hackers or those compromising these systems may ask specific questions to obtain basic data.
ON RECORDING
“That’s what we’ll be looking for and we’ll make sure we see it first and we can make sure there’s no further development,” Simzer told Reuters.
