Chinese hospital launches powerful AI model with sub-60-second gene mutation testing capability

Chinese tech giant Tencent and the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University in south China have launched a powerful artificial intelligence model that can identify gene mutations in just one minute, enhancing prospects for early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

The model, DeepGEM, was trained on the world’s largest dataset comprising 9,000 samples and achieves an accuracy rate of 80 to 90 percent in identifying lung cancer gene mutations. By reducing both the time and cost of testing, DeepGEM offers new hope for patients, particularly those in rural areas.
