The hospital will use NVIDIA’s supercomputer called DGX-1, which is designed for artificial intelligence applications.
NVIDIA and Massachusetts General Hospital launched the MGH Clinical Data Science Center in Boston, which will use the DGX-1 to learn algorithms and process phenotypic, genetics and imaging data from a hospital database containing nearly 10 billion medical images.
The center will initially focus on radiology and pathology, and eventually work with genomics and EHRs.
“Deep learning is revolutionizing a wide range of scientific fields,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “There could be no more important application of this new capability than improving patient care.”
