Pediatric Moonshot: Global, real-time, privacy-preserving applications for children’s medicine

Artificial Intelligence applications hold the key to reducing healthcare inequity locally and globally. While centralized architectures have been key to advances in consumer AI, they will not work to deploy and train AI applications for children’s medicine. As the pandemic shut down the world, a small team came together to build a new company with the mission of creating privacy-preserving real-time applications based on access to data in all 1,000,000 healthcare machines in the 500 children’s hospitals in the world. This short talk will give an overview of the mission, a new “rocket”, BevelCloud’s decentralized, in-the-building, edge cloud service, and its application to pediatric medicine.
