Healthcare AI at the Edge - Machine Learning & Healthcare Analytics

Build your appliance for radiological, diagnostic and clinical applications at the Healthcare IoT edge and achieve the best performance per watt at lowest total cost of ownership

Overview

AMD machine learning (ML) inference enables the early detection of critical ailments by identifying anomalies in X-rays, ultrasound, digital pathology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and more. Other applications include surgical tool guidance, drug discovery, and genome analysis. AMD and its partner ecosystem can deliver significant advancements across a wide array of healthcare applications and design methodologies.


Healthcare AI Reference Design and Open Model for Edge and Cloud

Healthcare IoT is rapidly accelerating the opportunity for cloud-connected clinical, diagnostic, and radiological equipment asset and collaborative control systems to decipher their full capabilities using machine learning. Hospital administrators, IT, service providers, and medical equipment makers realize the benefits and understand the need for integrated edge to cloud solutions that will accelerate their time to market.

AMD, Spline.ai, and AWS IoT services have a fully functional Healthcare AI reference design Kit, and an example X-Ray detection model with incredibly high accuracy and low output latency running on the Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC integrated on the ZCU104 platform as an Edge device. They are developed using PYNQ™, an open-source Python programming platform for the AMD Zynq architecture, and the AWS Lambda function that makes this integration easily adaptable for other clinical platforms.
The AMD deep learning processing Unit (DPU) integrated into the MPSoC accelerates the convolutional neural network (CNN) within the AWS IoT Greengrass. High performance at the edge combined with cloud scalability enables this solution to be available anywhere as a clinical or as a point-of-care (POC) solution. The solution can also be easily integrated with any existing healthcare applications at a large scale as a federated learning platform.

AI Toolkit for Vitis AI

AMD latest AI Toolkit Vitis™ AI version 1.1 was used to compile the deep learning models for running accelerated inference, making this solution very cost-effective.

Healthcare AI Starter Kit

AMD and Spline.ai have developed a smart and scalable solution for Pneumonia and COVID-19 prediction system using Vitis-AI and AWS IoT Greengrass with AMD ZCU104 FPGA board as the edge device.

X-Ray Images using Vitis-AI

Spline.ai leveraged the real-time capabilities and image processing features of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC to implement Pneumonia and Covid19 detection models, which is useful for understanding degree-of-infection, and for generating visual heatmaps.


VITIS AI Platform

The Vitis AI development environment is the development platform for AI inference on AMD hardware platforms, including both edge devices and Alveo™ cards. It consists of optimized IP, tools, libraries, models, and example designs. It is designed with high efficiency and ease of use in mind, unleashing the full potential of AI acceleration on AMD FPGA and adaptive SoC.

AMD has developed a complete end-to-end flow, allowing software developers, hardware developers, and data scientists to leverage the existing machine learning ecosystem. In this paradigm, we have designed tools to enable our customers to directly parse the model graph and trained weights saved from popular ML frameworks.

PYNQ – Python on Zynq

Python powered edge analytics and machine learning is enabled by the "PYNQ" platform. PYNQ is a software-hardware framework for the AMD Zynq SoCs, leveraging the programmable hardware to pre-process sensors and other data types to make software analysis highly efficient in an embedded processor.  The PYNQ platform supports all major Python libraries like Numpy, Scikit-Learn, Pandas, and others.
