InovaHC, AWS announce new generative AI laboratory
This is a machine translation of a press release by InovaHC and AWS Brasil, originally in Portuguese
São Paulo, January 30, 2024 - InovaHC, the technological innovation center at Hospital das Clínicas, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) today signed an agreement to create a Generative AI Laboratory. The laboratory will be an interdisciplinary space that will bring together researchers, students and entrepreneurs to explore a range of applications, develop solutions, guide and coordinate research. The objective is to create applications that promote greater efficiency in public health diagnostic processes.
The laboratory's first project wants to transform the way radiological reports are created. Named GAL (Gerador Adaptativo de Laudos, or Adaptive Report Generator), the tool allows the automatic structuring of radiological reports, taking into account the patient's history, in an agile and accurate way. The first phase of GAL involves the use of language models to construct a summary with patient information relevant to a given exam, facilitating the structuring of reports by the radiology team. With the application, a reduction in the time spent by the radiologist in accessing the information necessary to analyze the images is expected, bringing more efficiency to the process of delivering the diagnosis.
Generative AI is powered by machine learning models, which are pre-trained on extensive datasets. The system will read and analyze patient information and write documents that will be reviewed by the doctor, indicating points of attention, thus saving time, efficiency and standardization in format.
The project is carried out with the support of the clinical directorate of the Institute of Radiology at Hospital das Clínicas (InRad). “We know the challenge of incorporating high technology into the healthcare flow, and the project has several validation and testing phases. The expectation is that we can use this reporting model in other hospitals in Brazil”, says Giovanni Guido Cerri, director of InRad, professor and senior advisor at the Faculty of Medicine of USP (HCFMUSP). The initiative also has the support of Deloitte.
“AI has been a significant area of focus for Amazon for more than 20 years, and AWS is democratizing access to base models and generative AI and giving customers what they need to build their own projects. It is a technology with the potential to revolutionize medicine and healthcare, offering innovative solutions for diagnosis, treatment and research in the field. We are joining efforts with the largest hospital complex in Latin America to build artificial intelligence solutions that enable a significant improvement in patient care and public health efficiency in Brazil”, says Paulo Cunha, general director for the public sector at AWS in Brazil.

About InRad
The Institute of Radiology (InRad) of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (HCFMUSP) is a center of excellence in research, diagnosis and imaging therapies.
Created in 1994, the Institute houses outpatient resources for conventional and interventional radiology, radiotherapy, CEDIM (Breast Disease Imaging) and the Technical-Scientific Center for Diagnostic Imaging (NDI). A pioneer in the development of radiopharmaceuticals, InRad also houses CinRad (Integrated Radiopharmaceutical Production Center), which has the first large circular particle accelerator (Cyclotron).
Since 2015, it has operated the Magnetom 7T MRI, the most powerful full-body MRI device, with a 7 Tesla field, in Latin America. Named the Imaging Platform in the Autopsy Room (PISA), the laboratory serves several projects that use medical images, from pre-clinical to clinical, and is consolidated as an important and unique Multi-User Center for Innovation and Technological Development.
