RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is making significant strides in healthcare innovation with the development of MiniGPT-Med, a cutting-edge AI model poised to revolutionize medical diagnostics. Created by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in partnership with the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), MiniGPT-Med enhances diagnostic accuracy by integrating image analysis with textual clinical data.

Launched in July, this AI tool excels in detecting conditions like pneumonia, edema, brain tumors, and lung cancer by processing vast medical datasets. Unlike other models, MiniGPT-Med can pinpoint abnormalities in medical images, offering doctors immediate, precise insights.

Dr. Mohamed Elhoseiny, assistant professor of computer science at KAUST, highlighted that the AI’s role is to assist, not replace, healthcare professionals, especially in under-resourced areas. With its success in initial trials, where it outperformed previous models by 19%, MiniGPT-Med is set to redefine medical diagnostics.

Future plans for the AI include incorporating more diverse datasets and enhancing its understanding of complex medical terminology. The collaboration between KAUST and SDAIA aligns with the goals of the new GenAI Center of Excellence at KAUST, positioning Saudi Arabia as a leader in the global AI landscape.
