Google's AR Microscope Quickly Highlights Cancer Cells (uploadvr.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from UploadVR: Google Research this week revealed an AR microscope (ARM) capable of detecting cancerous cells in real-time with the help of machine learning. Locating cancer with a standard microscope is a difficult and time-consuming process, with a raft of information for doctors to study and investigate. With this new solution, though, the microscope is able to quickly locate cancerous cells and then highlight them as a doctor peers inside. The platform uses a modified light microscope integrated with image analysis and machine learning algorithms into its field of view. An AR display sits above a camera that communicates with the algorithm to display data as soon as it locates an issue. In order words, the microscope immediately begins looking for cancerous cells as soon as you place a sample beneath it. It's effectively doing the same job as a doctor just, according to Google, a lot faster. Google posted a video about the AR microscope on YouTube.
Google showed the microscope Slashdot comments. The microscope immediately identified APK as cancer. It's time for the APK cancer to be removed from Slashdot. His hosts file engine is garbage and APK is utterly clueless about technology.
honestly, much of what doctors do can be automated with machine learning. It's a broad subject with shallow depth. Machines are pretty good at taking care of living things, it turns out. This is a welcome solution to the "doctor shortage" in the USA.
One would use GOogle microscope for cancer screenings and then they would send you ads for cancer drugs and cancer centers?
Ads for hats when you lose your hair to cancer?
Is facebook gonna add a "like" button to it?
Hey, I'm just a bit cynical about these online advertising companies creating any of this tech.
OMG google actually did something useful for once?
Really, though, who did they buy it from? and when they can't be invasive enough in people's privacy and lives in a perverted manner are they just going to lock up the whole idea in patents and not allow the rest of the world to benefit?
Of course, they're Google, that's how they roll.
needs better marketing because we've used stains and dyes to "augment" microscopes for at least a century. "Augmented Reality" sounds much cooler than "staining."
Hello everyone. I would like to apologize for begin the raging asshole that I am. You see I am now undergoing a treatment program in an attempt to resolve my many issues. In going through this self discovery process I have discovered that a lot of my problems, especially with my inadequacy, centers around the fact that I was repressing my homosexuality. I now know that homosexuality isn't bad it is just the repression of it and the problems that causes are bad. Most notably his repression caused me to act out at anyone who rightfully pointed out my failings. I realize now that so much of what I said was just wrong. I also realize that I have developed serious problems such as stalking, harassment, poor physical health, and feelings of inadequacy. To this end I would like to apologize to the entire slashdot community.

P.S. => As part of my treatment I have been forced to read what I wrote and realize now that all the mockery and insults I received were fully justified... apk
The state of medical care in the US is absolute garbage at best, so it is ripe for disruption.
To use Deep Machine Learning for detecting and actuating defective industrial images using an electron microscope.
This uses Augmented Reality for gray scale images instead of color images, and by the order of gigapixels and high-speed 3D cameras.
To imagine that there is a wide usage of this technology for industrial applications as repairing very ultra VLSI chips, micro mechanical things, MEMS, etc.
See subject: Your MASSIVE FAIL in this life is you're nothing more than a chattering little do-nothing "ne'er-do-well" online & you know it...
* Is that the best your "phantasyland FAKE NAME" (for your fake lie of a so-called 'life') can manage?
When a FAKE NAME do nothing like YOU does better than I have? Then talk (you're all talk & no action)...
You can't help you're an immature little BUTTHURT no-mind, lol! I blew you away in TONS OF PLACES and easily dust your no-mind bullshit blatherings.
APK
P.S.=> The TRUE PRICE of your UNIDENTIFIABLE FAKE NAME do-nothing selves like you that I can ALWAYS CASH IN ON (lol) is that I can use FACT/TRUTH on them to SHATTER their all TOO fragile delusional egos that they actually know A DAMN THING in computing, lol... apk
This is "think of the children" science. Pat on the back and all. But it's really just an advert for google. It looks suspiciously like image recognition with a different training set.
This is fiction.
Technician bursts into room, announcing: The tests were successful!
(Much cheering and applause)
Patient: Successful how?
Technician: The prototype can highlight cancer cells!
(More cheering, but louder this time)
Patient: Does this mean I have cancer?
Technician: (still ecstatic) YES! Do you want to see the video?
WARNING: Smartphones have side effects--most of them undocumented.
Make sure all you libtards band the Assault Rifle Microscope
Ok, now they just need to add a pokeball to catch 'em all
This sounds like it would make a really interesting project, scaled down. Anyone know of a good hobbyist microscope with a movable stage that a USB camera would play nicely with? It would be fun to step the stage over X and Y for a slide of, say, pond water and create a classifier to determine what's in it.
This could make diagnosis actually worse.
Research from John Hopkins (I think?) has shown that performance of human doctor's DROPS when they are provided with automated results FIRST without a chance to view the un-annotated images. If they are provided with automated results in advance, they simply verify those results without doing much more looking themselves - the result being they wind up missing outliers that humans are good at seeing but machines aren't. It blinds them to outliers they would normally see.
If you do it the other way around though - have the doctor do their analysis FIRST, and THEN have those results double-checked by automated systems - you get super-additive performance better than either machine or doctor alone.
I was diagnosed with Stage IV non-small lung cancer in January 2017. My condition was deemed terminal, although it was discovered that an oral chemotherapeutic drug called Tarceva could potentially extend my life. With the drug, i was given 6 months to live.
I discovered that cannabis oil could actually save my life, i sought the Internet with great information and testimonies i contacted SIMMON Via email: drsimmonherbalhome@yahoo.com , and i began using cannabis oil in February 2017 which i bought . I was able to increase my intake by adding cannabis suppositories as well. The combination of treatments proved very potent, and by September 3rd, 2017, a scan showed that i was cancer free.
In February 2018, medical tests indicated cancer cells had Shrink off totally.I am so grateful to SIMMON and may God bless you.My experience has made me one of the most successful cured cancer patient thus i am sharing my Testimony. You can contact him for your cure via email: drsimmonherbalhome@yahoo.com . God bless you SIMMON.
Yours Sincerely.
