The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | July 14, 2022

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

CAST Launches Green Software Insights to Improve Sustainability in Software Development

CAST | February 03, 2023

CAST Highlight, green software insights is a new tool from CAST that analyzes application source code to figure out how it affects the environment. The technology can be used to find places in software where it can be improved to use less energy. The news came at a good time, since the emissions from data centers are the same as those from the whole airline industry. The design and development of software can affect 85% of the carbon emissions it makes. The technology provides organizations with the ability to measure the sustainability of custom-built applications and modify them to reduce emissions. Vincent Delaroche, founder and CEO of CAST, said, “For the first time, organizations can clearly measure the sustainability of custom-built applications, continually demonstrate their environmental impact reduction, and understand exactly how to modify them to reduce emissions.” He added, “Users are able to rapidly analyze portfolios of hundreds or thousands of applications to automatically prioritize the key enhancement candidates with specific recommendations provided by CAST Highlight.” (Source - Globenewswire) CAST Highlight analyzes portfolios of applications and provides recommendations. By analyzing source code repositories, it identifies patterns that waste resources and can be optimized. CAST will give 10% of the money it makes from Green Software Insights to groups that do research on sustainability. About CAST CAST is a leading software intelligence provider of software that "understands" multi-technology software systems and derives insights about their inner workings such as interactions between all its elements, including transaction flows, data access paths, changes required to migrate to the cloud, open-source risks, green impact, ISO 5055 compliance, and so on.
