Alibaba Group to partner with Antigua and Barbuda so that doctors can use AI to screen for pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, and chronic cardiovascular diseases

8

Antigua and Barbuda, an island nation in the Caribbean, will use medical artificial intelligence developed by Damo Academy, Alibaba Group Holding’s research and development institute, to diagnose diseases earlier.

Damo Academy will provide medical institutions in the prosperous tourism destination with products so that doctors can use AI in computed tomography scans to screen for pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, and chronic cardiovascular diseases, the Hangzhou-based tech giant announced today, citing a letter of intent.

Moreover, the two sides will explore more opportunities for clinical and research cooperation at local universities and hospitals to promote medical AI.

Damo Academy focuses on fields such as data analytics, robotics, and fintech, and in medical AI, it integrates computer vision with medical imaging.

  1. How about partner with Alibaba on how to fix air-conditioning
    Years ago a business man said ‘ nothing govt does impressed me ‘ ….I now understand. No plans no following up. Just jump at opportunity and advertise

  2. First ABS links up with CMG. Now AliBaba Group (Chinese of course) to ‘partner’ with Antigua in AI in medical screening of various medical conditions. Pay attention folks: the CEO.(maybe former CEO) of AliBaba was at one time a prominent fixture in international newspapers, you couldn’t escape his face, it was plastered all over the media daily and then – wham! All of a sudden he disappeared from.the scene, not a word or a little peep from.him. Why so? He is reported to have rub the Chinese authorities up the wrong way so became persona non grata. We don’t like criticism, keep your mouth shut unless what you say is favourable to the Communist Party and never forget who knows best. Got it? The Chinese have got our little wannabe dictator by his cojones (if he has any) and poor Antigua will be in full hock to China before long. Antigua and Barnbuda; ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.

  3. Recall recently that Cabinet announced they had a deal in the working for Joey John to take over the cancer Center.

    Also, recall it was widely rumored that his partner consisted of Cabinet Members.

    Need I say more … Connet the dots folks.

  4. Each of these link up has a unique feature and history.
    Each either benefit a Minister or it benefit China strategically

    • Well said ..I agree how can the minister just make the deal .. shouldn’t it be put to the entire cabinet then a decision made.. why make decision on the spot on the trip??? What are the terms ????

  5. Everytime Every single time the prime minister goes to some country,, you hear on the news how Antigua is in business with that country for something. Does the prime minister, Gaston Brown makes these decisions on his own ?? I don’t think one man or the 2 man delegation that goes to a country should decide that. Is money being passed to him to make these deals??? Where is the transparency??? How do we know what kind of terms ?? What is the country getting into .. how do we know they are not selling our children to them for the next 100 years?? All we hear is Antigua is in a deal for this or for that ?? WHAT KIND OF DEAL ??? WHAT ARE THE TERMS ..: there should be a website where these deals are made public and we can read them or access them … why not take the proposed deal and on return cabinet vote on the deal and there is a town hall or several town halls to discuss with each constituency the deals so we can ask and get questions answered? Why is the country being ran this way ans why are we accepting it ??? I see all kinds of young people in Antigua young and old posting everyday about trump in America and voting for trump and how Americans crazy to still give trump a chance but I would suggest to you people leave America and trump alone and focus and post about Antigua and Gaston brown and these secretive deals made by one man for a while country, post about the crime rate in Antigua and how Antigua in 2024 as a power house has no running water .. DONT WORRY ABOUT AMERICA THEY WILL ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP . Antigua is going from bad to worser .. All these deals Africa Airlines .. All these deals with China that nobody knows the terms of , they are selling Antigua to China ..: soon from now the Chinese will knock on your doors and tell you they own your house .. WAKE UP ANTIGUA

    • Well said ..I agree how can the minister just make the deal .. shouldn’t it be put to the entire cabinet then a decision made.. why make decision on the spot on the trip??? What are the terms ????
      Very true Antiguans watch America elections more than Antigua .. worry about Antigua .. our economy is bad .. we keep hearing GASTON BROWN whenever he return from these trips he says how ‘they say Antigua is growing and ‘they say Antigua has a leading economy and they say this and they say that .. after Gaston come back from each trip he reports that they say Antigua is doing well… but who is THEY that is saying these things and how is it that we can’t SEE a report or go to that organizations website that made the statement to see for ourselves. ? How is it that the only person to know that ‘THEY’ say Antigua economy is doing well is just GASTON BROWN!!
      Antigua needs to demand proof of these dealings of our economic state .. there should be public access and transparency.. we need to rise up as a nation and demand better .. Gaston is selling off the country and the only person benefiting is him .. no roads being fixed no schools being fixed .. hospital don’t have water no .. no running WATER no ac no proper infrastructure .. ELECTRICITY bill is drowning Antiguans .. cost of living is drowning us .. crime is drowning us .. police has no training .. no crimes being solved .. the state of St. John’s town is horrible .. gutters stinking .. no MP doing their job all these ABLP government ministers living in their big houses .. children going to the best schools pockets getting fat.. children going to the best Us schools and the the parliament ministers are never in the constituency .. you can’t get a hold of them .. bright and intelligent students of poor people don’t get a chance cause they don’t have no pull string .. People in Antigua are dying from poor health care .. when you have cancer they tell you is a cold .. they tell you is gas .. they tell you in this and that .. by the time you find out you dead .. too far gone .. cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence but antiga is I’ll equipped . But after every trip Gaston say ‘they say ‘ Antigua is the best in the region!!!!smh
      What are the terms of these deals and when will see some improvement in this country because it is NOT AMONG THE BEST!!!! IT IS AMONG THE WORSE !!!!!
