According to a Tuesday announcement shared with Cointelegraph, Samsung said it will integrate its ultrasound equipment with Galeon\u2019s electronic health record (EHR) platform. Speaking to Cointelegraph, Galeon CEO Lo\u00efc Brotons said the EHR is already live in 18 interconnected hospitals, including those in France at Rouen University Hospital, Caen University Hospital, Toulon Hospital and Sud Francilien Hospital.<\/p>\n
Samsung and Galeon said the effort aims to improve medical data availability while keeping a privacy-first approach. Brotons said the data itself is not stored onchain; only the AI algorithm operates onchain \u201cwith full traceability of how the algorithm is operating.\u201d He added that all data is anonymized before training for privacy compliance reasons.<\/p>\n
The collaboration allows healthcare providers to train AI models without centralizing patient information. Each hospital or institution retains control over its data while benefiting from shared algorithm training.<\/p>\n
Brotons told Cointelegraph that this approach to medical AI training is already making an impact. He claimed that the firm has developed an automatic billing AI for medical services, an AI that provides a summary of consultations and is working on its own speech-to-text AI.<\/p>\n
