Generative AI Boosts Clinical Trial Candidate Selection

The Tokai National Higher Education and Research System, which runs Nagoya University and Gifu University, partnered with Fujitsu Limited. They finished a demo experiment to enhance how clinical trial candidates are chosen. This used generative AI and medical data. This initiative tackles drug waste in Japan. It has shown good results in supporting clinical research. The experiment used medical records from about 1,800 people at Nagoya University Hospital and Gifu University Hospital.
