In this Intel on AI podcast episode: The COVID-19 coronavirus, since its initial outbreak, has quickly become a global pandemic and the inadequate amount of lab tests available for people suspected of infection have posed serious risks to public health and efforts in containing the virus. Jingwen Jia (Wendy), the Assistant General Manager at Huiying Medical (HYHY), joins the Intel on AI podcast to discuss how the HYHY imaging diagnostic solution assists healthcare providers to detect and diagnose potential COVID-19 infections by analyzing computed tomography (CT) chest scans with AI-powered algorithms. She discusses how the HYHY solution is a complementary tool to help doctors make diagnosis quickly by analyzing the ground-glass opacity (GGO) and other indicators revealed in lung CT imagery. The HYHY solution has already been deployed in 30+ hospitals throughout China. Wendy emphasizes how, with the help of AI, the HYHY solution can help doctors detect the virus quickly, helping patients receive the care they need faster and assisting with the tracking and containment of the COVID-19 virus. She also discusses how HYHY has collaborated with Intel through the Intel Capital and Intel AI Builders programs to optimize their solutions to run on Intel architecture and the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit to help give healthcare providers a powerful tool to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic around the world.

If we’re at war with COVID-19 at a personal and societal level, what’s our best defense? Without a vaccine or herd immunity, how can we improve our odds that the virus leaves us unscathed? The answer may lie in how we nurture our minds and bodies. In this episode of the Business Group on Health podcast, we sit down with Dr. Amit Sood, one of the world’s leading experts on resilience and well-being, to discuss how each of us can improve our body’s defense system through “immune resilience.”

What is it like to take over a health care organization in the midst of a pandemic? In this inaugural episode of the Business Group on Health podcast, we sit down with Ellen Kelsay, the new President and CEO of Business Group on Health, to discuss what it’s like to lead during the biggest health care crisis of our generation, what has to change in health care, and the organization’s top priorities for the balance of 2020.

Ronan Keryell, principal software engineer at Xilinx, and Jeff Hammond, principal engineer at Intel, explain why open collaboration — modeled through open source and open standards — is key to solving some of today’s biggest challenges in research and industry, revealing some of the misconceptions, or least understood aspects, along the way. Then they explore the value of open languages and programming models, diving into ISO C++, Khronos Group SYCL, the amazing SYCL community, and what excites them most about the SYCL 2020 Provisional Specification.

In this Intel Chip Chat audio podcast with Allyson Klein: Dr. Roland Eils, the founding director of the BIH Digital Health Center of the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), talks with host Allyson Klein about their advanced COVID-19 cell sequencing research and how critical technology is in delivering timely results within the medical industry. During their talk, Dr. Eils explains BIH’s process in collecting COVID-19 samples from infected patients and establishing a pipeline through molecular categorization by massive genome sequencing. This large amount of data is used to help predict infected patients’ progression and recommend medical solutions. Intel’s Select Solution architecture tailored to BIH’s workload requirements has accelerated patient research and enabled quicker medical diagnostics. The two also discuss the instrumental role of the IT industry in integrating and processing large amounts of critical medical data. Finally, Dr. Eils describe the institute’s future plans to research the after-recovery effects of COVID-19 patients with international clinical data.

In this Intel on AI podcast episode: Retail shoppers around the world are always looking to have a more personalized, convenient, and overall better shopping experience when they visit stores. With the advent of advanced cameras, sensors, and AI technology, smart stores are eliminating the need for customers to wait in line, scan their purchases, or even complete a payment transaction with a cashier. Also, during the worldwide pandemic it can be difficult for retail staff to limit their exposure to potentially infected people throughout the course of their workday. For consumers as well, maintaining safe distances can be nearly impossible when at a busy store or when interacting directly with a store cashier. Mark Perry, the Global Business Director at Cloudpick, joins the Intel on AI podcast to talk about how Cloudpick’s AI-powered smart store solution is providing customers with enhanced shopping experiences while also working to help keep them safe. He describes how Cloudpick’s system can automatically recognize a customer when they enter the store as well as the products that the customer gathers and automatically charge costs to the customer’s account without having to interact with a cashier or scan their items. Mark also talks about how during the Covid-19 pandemic, retail stores being able to limit staff interactions with customers and allowing customers to avoid touching checkout machines helps customers staff avoid potential exposure. He also discusses how optimizing the Cloudpick solution for Intel architecture and using the Intel distribution of OpenVINO has helped enable Cloudpick’s solution to operate fater and provide consumers with better, safer shopping experiences.
