In the bustling, vibrant city of Hong Kong, Eyes of AI (EAI) and CSIRO’s Data61 stood out at the illustrious 2023 Asia Pacific ICT Alliance (APICTA) Awards Ceremony. Their collaborative effort in dental and medical imaging using AI technology not only captivated the audience but also earned them the prestigious Research and Development Project of the Year Award. This accolade is a symbol of the groundbreaking strides they have made in the field of healthcare technology.
Redefining Dental Diagnostics with AI
The collaboration between EAI and Data61, the data and digital powerhouse of Australia’s national science agency, has culminated in a technology that’s nothing short of revolutionary. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, this technology skillfully identifies key features and anomalies in dental scans with remarkable precision. It’s a game-changer, poised to significantly enhance health outcomes worldwide by transforming how dental and medical radiographs are interpreted and reducing the frequency of misdiagnoses.
A Global Stage for Technological Prowess
Their success didn’t come easy. EAI and Data61 stood their ground against over 250 global competitors from 16 different countries, evaluated on criteria like uniqueness, proof of concept, functionalities, and technological application quality. Their victory was further sweetened as they also bagged the Merit Award in the Artificial Intelligence Project of the Year category, showcasing their technological supremacy.
From National Recognition to International Glory
Before stepping onto the international stage, EAI and Data61 had already made waves domestically. They had garnered multiple honors at the Australian Information Industry Association’s (AIIA) iAwards and the NSW iAward for Best Business and Industry Solution. These awards set the stage for their eligibility and eventual triumph at APICTA.
