Treatment AI (OTCQB: TREIF) (CSE: TRUE) Funded by the National Institute of Health to Develop a Culturally Sensitive AI Approach to Health Equity - Treatment.com AI Inc. (Frankfurt: 939) (the “Company” or “Treatment”) is pleased to announce that the Company has received funding from The National Institute of Health (“NIH”) to develop a culturally sensitive AI approach for collecting family medical history.
Treatment AI has partnered with Rush River Research in Minneapolis to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI) approach for collecting information about family medical history that is culturally sensitive and appropriate for African-American families. Current methods used by clinicians to collect family medical histories often do not satisfactorily capture important information from blended families or nontraditional relationships commonly found in racial or ethnic minority communities. The historical trauma and systemic bias common in African American communities can limit the amount of information known about the health of relatives. Without better methods for capturing information, existing health disparities addressing prevention and risk can persist. In collaboration with Rush River Research, Treatment AI is using its proprietary artificial intelligence capabilities to change how family health is collected and recorded to address existing disparities. The Company held multiple focus groups with African American doctors and community members to help develop and prototype culturally sensitive approaches to collecting information about family health.
As part of their work building the world’s most comprehensive and integrated online medical library powered by AI (the Global Library of Medicine), Treatment is aggressively acting to ensure that diagnostic and treatment information in the future will be provided by platforms that are free of the inequity commonly reflected in medical AI programs today. By convening focus groups of African Americans to evaluate Treatment’s platform and provide insights and suggestions, the company ensures a rich and diverse perspective will inform the platform’s continuous improvement.
The family history solution has been initially developed through a prototype that integrates into the Treatment AI platform. As continued improvements in the solution are made, they will be provided to Treatment for testing and implementation into future generations of the Global Library of Medicine platform.
Treatment and Rush River Research have recently submitted an expanded Phase 2 grant proposal to the NIH to extend the work. The goal of the proposal is to move the prototype into a commercial solution which will promote adoption and integration into electronic health records and online apps.
Kevin Peterson MD, MPH, FRCS(Ed), FAAFP Chief Medical Officer stated “Old data approaches inevitably reflect old biases. Treatment AI confronts issues of historical bias by reinventing how data about families is collected and stored to reflect the realities of modern life.” CONTINUED… Read this full press release and more news for Treatment.com AI at: https://treatment.com/press/

Medtronic (NYSE: MDT), the global leader in healthcare technology, recently announced that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has affirmed the validity of claims in two of its patents in an ongoing patent infringement lawsuit filed by Medtronic against Axonics over sacral neuromodulation (SNM) technologies. Cumulatively, the PTAB has now upheld the validity of five of the Medtronic patents at issue in this lawsuit.
Medtronic will now ask the federal court in the Central District of California, where Medtronic's patent infringement lawsuit is pending, to lift its stay on the lawsuit and proceed to trial on the five valid and affirmed patents so Medtronic can present its case in front of a jury.
“It's now past time for Axonics to stand up in a court of law and take responsibility for its unauthorized use and infringement of Medtronic's intellectual property,” said Mira Sahney, president of the pelvic health business in the neuroscience portfolio at Medtronic. “We respect the intellectual property of innovators, and our patent system exists to benefit society by encouraging the kind of innovation that Medtronic invests in. We are pleased with the PTAB's decision, and we are confident that the evidence at trial will show that Axonics improperly used and profited from Medtronic's patented technology.”
