AI aids Almaty medical professionals in efficient stroke management

In a recent visit to City Clinical Hospital No.7 in Almaty, Minister Bagdat Mussin inspected the functioning of digital medical systems in several medical facilities. During his visit, he was introduced to a new project called "Cerebro", an artificial intelligence program designed to assist doctors in diagnosing stroke symptoms.

The "Cerebro" program, currently operating in a pilot mode, has been under development for approximately two years. The developer team behind "Cerebro" remains unnamed, and the cities where the project is planned for implementation in the next months are yet to be announced.

"Cerebro" uses innovative software to analyze CT scan images, helping doctors diagnose ischemic stroke, a tricky disease. According to Dosjan Zhussupov, the head of the "Cerebo" project, artificial intelligence aids doctors by showing anomalies in the brain that humans can't see.

Doctors at City Clinical Hospital No.7 have reported some positive outcomes from the use of the artificial intelligence in stroke diagnosis. The "Cerebro" team plans to implement the project in large Almaty hospitals and then in Nur-Sultan in a few months.

Minister Mussin expressed interest in holding a separate meeting with those using the "Cerebro" program to gather feedback. He also noted the importance of digital medical systems in improving healthcare services in Kazakhstan.

The digital database at the Almaty Oncological Center, a unified system covering all regions of the country, will store patients' X-ray images. This centralized system is expected to streamline the process of diagnosing and treating patients, making healthcare services more efficient.

The meeting concluded with Minister Mussin commending the progress made in digitalizing healthcare services in Kazakhstan and expressing his commitment to further supporting such initiatives. The "Cerebro" project, if successful, could revolutionize stroke diagnosis and treatment in the country.
