April 08 2019 - 8:00AM
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), an industry- leading
provider of AI-powered solutions, today announced its support of
the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute’s
ACR AI-LAB™ initiative to rapidly scale and democratize the use of
AI in healthcare.
Through the ACR AI-LAB, radiologists and developers will
collaborate to develop high-quality AI algorithms that address
clinical needs at local levels. Users of the Nuance AI Marketplace
for Diagnostic Imaging (AI Marketplace), which provides AI
developers with direct access to over 70 percent of radiologists
across more than 5,800 connected healthcare facilities, will be
able to use the new ACR AI-LAB initiative to develop valuable AI
solutions for their practices/facilities and take the solutions to
scale. In addition, using Nuance PowerScribe One, AI Marketplace
subscribers can readily access the largest storefront of AI imaging
algorithms and easily integrate the algorithms directly into their
existing radiology reporting workflows, providing a collaborative
feedback channel to ensure superior results.
“We applaud the ACR for making concrete strides toward the
democratization of AI across the healthcare industry,” said Karen
Holzberger, Vice President and General Manager, Healthcare
Diagnostics, Nuance. “ACR AI-LAB opens doors for developers and
radiologists to rapidly build, test and customize high-quality AI
models. The Nuance AI Marketplace can then take these innovations
to the next level, providing a gateway to deliver AI models
directly into the daily clinical workflow for the vast majority of
radiologists around the country.”
“Based on a long history of working with Nuance to pioneer
innovations such as ACR Assist, we are extremely excited to be
working with them on our newest initiative,” said Mike Tilkin,
Chief Information Officer, ACR. “By utilizing Nuance’s AI
Marketplace, developers who are using ACR AI-LAB can rapidly deploy
the AI models they build into the existing production
interpretation and reporting workflows of our members without
having to worry about any of the last mile connections.”
The AI marketplace is powered by NVIDIA’s Clara AI platform to
scale out deployment of AI algorithms on-premises and in the cloud,
giving developers and subscribers superior performance and
flexibility.
“Bringing AI to radiology departments everywhere is incredibly
important work that will take an ecosystem of partners,” said
Kimberly Powell, Vice President, Healthcare, NVIDIA. “With the
Nuance AI Marketplace powered by NVIDIA Clara, AI can be seamlessly
integrated into the practice of radiology, providing immediate
benefits to radiologists and their patients.”
Nuance senior leaders will continue conversations related to the
democratization of AI at this year’s World Medical Innovation Forum

participate in a fireside chat, April 9, 2-2:30pm ET, with

“why” behind burnout and how AI solutions can help curb the
epidemic.
- Peter Durlach, Senior Vice President, Nuance, will participate
in a discovery café session, April 9, 11:45am-1pm ET titled, “Last
