Gaza HopeWave: AI-Powered Breast Cancer Diagnosis
THE CHALLENGE
In Gaza, access to timely and accurate breast cancer diagnosis is limited due to ongoing conflict in the region, leading to late detection and lower survival rates. Traditional methods of diagnosis may not always be efficient or readily available, especially in remote areas, under-resourced healthcare facilities, or where the recent intensification of conflict has destroyed hospitals and/or rendered them unusable.
THE SOLUTION
Spark Charity for Innovation and Creativity is introducing an advanced AI-powered breast cancer diagnosis system called Gaza HopeWave. This system utilizes cutting-edge deep learning techniques, including convolutional neural networks and learning transfer, to analyze mammography X-rays with precision. It can accurately detect early-stage breast cancer and classify the severity of the cancer from 1 to 3, enabling oncologists to tailor personalized treatment plans for patients based on the cancer’s severity.
