Nvidia has launched a series of partnerships aimed at strengthening the healthcare sector through AI.
The partnership includes collaboration with many key players in the $10 trillion healthcare sector, the chipmaker said Monday (January 13) at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco. It was announced at
“The convergence of AI, high-speed computing, and biological data is transforming healthcare into the largest technology industry,” Nvidia said in a news release. “Healthcare leaders IQVIA, Illumina, Mayo Clinic, and Arc Institute are using the latest Nvidia technology to develop solutions that help improve human health.”
These solutions include artificial intelligence (AI) agents that can reduce administrative burden and speed clinical trials; AI models that learn from biological instruments to advance drug discovery and digital pathology; Includes physical AI robots for monitoring and surgery.
“AI agents, AI equipment, and AI robots will help address $3 trillion in operations dedicated to supporting industry growth and create opportunities for hundreds of billions of dollars of AI factories.” added.
At Mayo Clinic, the medical center will use Nvidia's technology to accelerate the development of new basic pathology models. Meanwhile, DNA sequencing and informatics technology provider Illumina plans to adopt Nvidia accelerated computing and AI toolsets for its multi-omics analysis software and workflows.
“This will make analysis of the human genome and the insights it provides more accessible to researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and other life science customers,” the release states.
The announcement comes one day after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang introduced several new developments from the company, including next-generation chips, a new large language model, and a mini AI supercomputer, while also announcing a partnership with Toyota. It took place a week later.
“This year has been an extraordinary journey, an extraordinary year,” Huang told a packed crowd during his keynote address at the CES trade show in Las Vegas.
Last year, Nvidia became one of the most valuable companies in the world in terms of market value. Currently, the company occupies the second place with $3.2 trillion, just below Apple with $3.4 trillion.
PYMNTS wrote earlier this month that it was a year in which AI capabilities moved from simple automation to tackling complex tasks in fields such as finance and manufacturing, as well as healthcare.
“By year's end, the landscape of the technology industry had fundamentally changed. AI became more than just a feature or a stock booster; it became a lens through which companies viewed their futures,” the report said. . “The question has shifted from whether AI will transform business to how companies can leverage its potential.”
