Just Published: Groundbreaking AI Model for Cancer Diagnosis by Dr. Isaac Kohane – More at PMWC 2025
Dr. Isaac Kohane and his team have just published in Nature a groundbreaking research in cancer diagnosis using AI, introducing a new model that significantly outperforms current methods. This foundation model for clinical histopathology, trained on over 60,000 pathology slides and validated across 24 hospitals, sets a new standard for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
This AI model showcases the ongoing transformative power of AI in healthcare—a key theme at PMWC 2025, Feb. 5-7 (JUST-RELEASED 12 TRACK PROGRAM) at the Santa Clara Convention Center, where Dr. Kohane will be recognized as the Pioneer Honoree for his contributions to AI and biomedical informatics. His innovations, such as the i2b2 toolkit and the SMART-on-FHIR API, have transformed how we integrate patient data and make precision medicine more accessible.
Dr. Kohane’s work extends beyond AI breakthroughs in diagnostics. His development of the i2b2 toolkit has enabled research across underrepresented populations, including early COVID-19 interventions. His SMART-on-FHIR API, adopted by Apple, empowers patients by democratizing data access across more than 800 hospitals. See Isaac Kohane Interview.
At PMWC 2025 in the AI & Data Sciences – RWE/D (Track 2), you’ll hear from: • Dr. Isaac Kohane and other key leaders on how RWD and AI are driving forward personalized healthcare strategies.
• Michael Pfeffer (Stanford Medicine), Chris Longhurst (UC San Diego Health), Tanya Townsend (Stanford Children’s), Kiran Mysore (Sutter Health), and Cherodeep Goswami (UW Health) on “From Data to Decisions: Real-Time Patient Insights for Improved Care.”
