How to apply artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare

According to the Grand View Research consulting company, global spending on artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare amounted to $2.5 billion in 2018. The introduction of technologies that include algorithms for analyzing big data (information about the state of health of the population, the results of laboratory and genetic research) and automatic speech recognition systems, is aimed at achieving the following main goals:

  • Reducing the number of medical errors leading to, among other things, death, by increasing the accuracy and speed of diagnosis.
  • Ensuring more effective interactions between doctor and patients by reducing the administrative burden on medical personnel.
  • Reducing costs and accelerating the development of new drugs.

Let’s consider several scenarios for using artificial intelligence technologies in medicine and healthcare.

Epidemiology

Artificial intelligence and cloud services have become especially popular during the coronavirus pandemic, as they made it possible to provide the following:

  • real-time collaboration by medical professionals using communication platforms with built-in artificial intelligence capable of recognizing spoken and written speech in different languages (chat bots, voice assistants, machine translation systems);
  • fast diagnosis based on the analysis of medical images (including chest CT scans);
  • monitoring of patients;
  • accelerated drug development;
  • forecasting of the spread of the disease.

In China, where the first coronavirus patients were recorded in December 2019, a set of solutions based on artificial intelligence and cloud services was proposed in March 2020 to combat the pandemic.

DingTalk communication platform. A platform for the international exchange of experience in diagnostics, treatment, and counteraction to the spread of the coronavirus infection. Medical workers communicate in a group chat where artificial intelligence translates users’ text messages in real time. The system supports 11 languages: Arabic, Indonesian, Chinese, English, French, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese. A video conferencing format is available for remote diagnostics.

Epidemic forecasting system. Artificial intelligence is used to simulate the spread of the coronavirus infection in various regions of the world. When developing the algorithmic model, statistics were used on sick, dead, and recovered patients in the provinces of China.

CT image analysis system. The AI-powered system was trained based on 5,000 medical chest images of Chinese patients. According to the developer, the accuracy of diagnosing coronavirus is 96%. The time required to analyze a CT scan is less than 10 seconds.

The ability to accelerate machine learning is one of the strengths of the Gcore AI Platform. It’s suitable for testing and launching AI-based medical applications in emergency conditions.

Radiology tests

Analysis of medical images (for example, CT and MRI images) for diagnosing diseases (primarily oncological ones) forms the basis of the scientific field called radiomics which is developing at the intersection of radiology, computer technology, and mathematical statistics. It is expected that the future use of artificial intelligence will allow doctors to abandon invasive diagnostic procedures accompanied by a high risk of complications and discomfort for the patient (for example, endoscopy or biopsy).

The analysis of medical images based on artificial intelligence and cloud services has already increased the accuracy of detecting diseases and predicting their development. This is achieved by training algorithms based on big data collected in medical institutions from patient examinations.

The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the American College of Radiology has developed an open, scalable platform available for implementation and use in specialized clinics and research institutes in the United States without additional software costs. This solution allows radiologists who don’t have programming skills to apply artificial intelligence technologies in their practice for the following purposes:

  • to analyze datasets;
  • to develop algorithms and models for machine learning;
  • to evaluate their effectiveness in diagnosing patients and predicting the development of diseases;
  • to share the results with colleagues.

According to the developers, the platform meets the safety requirements set by the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Digital medical records

Artificial intelligence makes it easier to work with patients’ medical records, relieving doctors from unnecessary administrative burden. The time they have to spend filling out paperwork is reduced thanks to voice assistants. The integration of the Dragon Medical One platform with AI-based speech recognition technology for electronic medical records allows, according to the manufacturer, to input information about the patient’s health status and the course of treatment 45% faster and 20% more detailed than when doctors input it manually using the keyboard.

Digital medical records contain data both in structured (test results) and unstructured forms (patient complaints, doctor’s recommendations). Artificial intelligence allows you to quickly search and process information of various formats for an accurate diagnosis.

All the necessary tools for creating and developing solutions that can analyze data from electronic medical records are integrated into our AI Platform. Our specialists will offer the optimal system configuration to implement the ideas of medical application developers.

Preventive diagnostics

Artificial intelligence and cloud services help identify predisposition to the development of the disease, allowing patients to start treatment as early as possible.

To assess the risks of developing various diseases (including diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerosis), the Airdoc AI system uses images of the retina. Early detection of symptoms allows treatment to begin sooner, which helps avoid serious complications such as blindness and stroke in diabetic patients.

High-resolution medical images from a digital scanner are transferred to the cloud for further processing. AI algorithms analyze images of the patient’s retina in both eyes for abnormalities (such as spots and deformed blood vessels) in 20 to 30 milliseconds. Diagnostic results with information on the level of risk for 30 diseases are then sent to the patient’s email address.

A multipurpose AI Platform will help reduce the cost of implementing new solutions in the field of preventive diagnostics. It contains ready-made data processing frameworks and, at the same time, is suitable for developing unique algorithms for the specialized tasks of medical applications.

Medical robots

Robotics in healthcare provides high precision and safety in surgical operations, during endoscopic diagnostics, and in therapeutic procedures.

Robots act as intermediaries between doctors and patients. For example, the Mabu companion helps check the health of patients with heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis, or liver cancer. AI-based speech recognition technology allows the robot to learn the peculiar features of the patient through daily conversation.

Mabu asks questions about the patient’s well-being, medical parameters (e.g. weight), and symptoms of the disease (in case of heart failure, shortness of breath should be monitored). The robot then transmits the received information to the doctor, nurse, and pharmacist, who then dispenses the necessary medicines. After receiving the prescriptions, the robot monitors the course of treatment: it provides the patient with necessary recommendations and reminds them to take their medication.

A new approach to providing medical care

Artificial intelligence will change the way people think about the healthcare system, as well as the healthcare services available to patients.

Wearable electronic devices that measure vital signs will provide regular health monitoring. Artificial intelligence will analyze the collected data and warn the patient in advance about the need to seek medical help.

According to the startup Current Health, their AI platform for remote health monitoring can detect over 100 diseases. The wireless wearable electronic device, which is attached to the patient’s arm, monitors their pulse, pressure, temperature, and other medical parameters on a daily basis. The data is analyzed by artificial intelligence, making it possible to identify the risk of complications at an early stage.

The application, available on stationary and mobile devices, contains detailed information about the patient’s condition. The built-in chatbot asks questions about patient’s health and symptoms. Consultations with a physician are available in video format. The platform is integrated with digital medical records.

Support for vital bodily functions using artificial intelligence is a promising area of biomedical research associated with the reproduction of lost functions in patients with disabilities using robotic prostheses and augmented reality technologies. The future development of neurocomputer interfaces will facilitate the joint work of artificial intelligence and the human brain.

In 2019, the universities of North Carolina and Arizona (USA) introduced a jointly-developed automatic knee prosthesis adjustment system. While it takes up to several hours to adjust all 12 parameters of a robotic joint manually to ensure normal walking, artificial intelligence copes with the task in just 10 minutes.

For healthcare institutions and IT companies that develop medical applications, we are ready to provide a reliable, powerful, and secure AI Platform with full-cycle machine learning support.

The Gcore cloud services are efficient, profitable, easy to use, and will improve the quality of medical services.

How AI-enhanced content moderation is powering safe and compliant streaming

As streaming experiences a global boom across platforms, regions, and industries, providers face a growing challenge: how to deliver safe, respectful, and compliant content delivery at scale. Viewer expectations have never been higher, likewise the regulatory demands and reputational risks.Live content in particular leaves little room for error. A single offensive comment, inappropriate image, or misinformation segment can cause long-term damage in seconds.Moderation has always been part of the streaming conversation, but tools and strategies are evolving rapidly. AI-powered content moderation is helping providers meet their safety obligations while preserving viewer experience and platform performance.In this article, we explore how AI content moderation works, where it delivers value, and why streaming platforms are adopting it to stay ahead of both audience expectations and regulatory pressures.Real-time problems require real-time solutionsHuman moderators can provide accuracy and context, but they can’t match the scale or speed of modern streaming environments. Live streams often involve thousands of viewers interacting at once, with content being generated every second through audio, video, chat, or on-screen graphics.Manual review systems struggle to keep up with this pace. In some cases, content can go viral before it is flagged, like deepfakes that circulated on Facebook leading up to the 2025 Canadian election. In others, delays in moderation result in regulatory penalties or customer churn, like X’s 2025 fine under the EU Digital Services Act for shortcomings in content moderation and algorithm transparency. This has created a demand for scalable solutions that act instantly, with minimal human intervention.AI-enhanced content moderation platforms address this gap. These systems are trained to identify and filter harmful or non-compliant material as it is being streamed or uploaded. They operate across multiple modalities—video frames, audio tracks, text inputs—and can flag or remove content within milliseconds of detection. The result is a safer environment for end users.How AI moderation systems workModern AI moderation platforms are powered by machine learning algorithms trained on extensive datasets. These datasets include a wide variety of content types, languages, accents, dialects, and contexts. By analyzing this data, the system learns to identify content that violates platform policies or legal regulations.The process typically involves three stages:Input capture: The system monitors live or uploaded content across audio, video, and text layers.Pattern recognition: It uses models to identify offensive content, including nudity, violence, hate speech, misinformation, or abusive language.Contextual decision-making: Based on confidence thresholds and platform rules, the system flags, blocks, or escalates the content for review.This process is continuous and self-improving. As the system receives more inputs and feedback, it adapts to new forms of expression, regional trends, and platform-specific norms.What makes this especially valuable for streaming platforms is its low latency. Content can be flagged and removed in real time, often before viewers even notice. This is critical in high-stakes environments like esports, corporate webinars, or public broadcasts.Multi-language moderation and global streamingStreaming audiences today are truly global. Content crosses borders faster than ever, but moderation standards and cultural norms do not. What’s considered acceptable in one region may be flagged as offensive in another. A word that is considered inappropriate in one language might be completely neutral in another. A piece of nudity in an educational context may be acceptable, while the same image in another setting may not be. Without the ability to understand nuance, AI systems risk either over-filtering or letting harmful content through.That’s why high-quality moderation platforms are designed to incorporate context into their models. This includes:Understanding tone, not just keywordsRecognizing culturally specific gestures or idiomsAdapting to evolving slang or coded languageApplying different standards depending on content type or target audienceThis enables more accurate detection of harmful material and avoids false positives caused by mistranslation.Training AI models for multi-language support involves:Gathering large, representative datasets in each languageTeaching the model to detect content-specific risks (e.g., slurs or threats) in the right cultural contextContinuously updating the model as language evolvesThis capability is especially important for platforms that operate in multiple markets or support user-generated content. It enables a more respectful experience for global audiences while providing consistent enforcement of safety standards.Use cases across the streaming ecosystemAI moderation isn’t just a concern for social platforms. It plays a growing role in nearly every streaming vertical, including the following:Live sports: Real-time content scanning helps block offensive chants, gestures, or pitch-side incidents before they reach a wide audience. Fast filtering protects the viewer experience and helps meet broadcast standards.Esports: With millions of viewers and high emotional stakes, esports platforms rely on AI to remove hate speech and adult content from chat, visuals, and commentary. This creates a more inclusive environment for fans and sponsors alike.Corporate live events: From earnings calls to virtual town halls, organizations use AI moderation to help ensure compliance with internal communication guidelines and protect their reputation.Online learning: EdTech platforms use AI to keep classrooms safe and focused. Moderation helps filter distractions, harassment, and inappropriate material in both live and recorded sessions.On-demand entertainment: Even outside of live broadcasts, moderation helps streaming providers meet content standards and licensing obligations across global markets. It also ensures user-submitted content (like comments or video uploads) meets platform guidelines.In each case, the shared goal is to provide a safe and trusted streaming environment for users, advertisers, and creators.Balancing automation with human oversightAI moderation is a powerful tool, but it shouldn’t be the only one. The best systems combine automation with clear review workflows, configurable thresholds, and human input.False positives and edge cases are inevitable. Giving moderators the ability to review, override, or explain decisions is important for both quality control and user trust.Likewise, giving users a way to appeal moderation decisions or report issues ensures that moderation doesn’t become a black box. Transparency and user empowerment are increasingly seen as part of good platform governance.Looking ahead: what’s next for AI moderationAs streaming becomes more interactive and immersive, moderation will need to evolve. AI systems will be expected to handle not only traditional video and chat, but also spatial audio, avatars, and real-time user inputs in virtual environments.We can also expect increased demand for:Personalization, where viewers can set their own content preferencesIntegration with platform APIs for programmatic content governanceCross-platform consistency to support syndicated content across partnersAs these changes unfold, AI moderation will remain central to the success of modern streaming. Platforms that adopt scalable, adaptive moderation systems now will be better positioned to meet the next generation of content challenges without compromising on speed, safety, or user experience.Keep your streaming content safe and compliant with GcoreGcore Video Streaming offers AI Content Moderation that satisfies today’s digital safety concerns while streamlining the human moderation process.To explore how Gcore AI Content Moderation can transform your digital platform, we invite you to contact our streaming team for a demonstration.

Protecting networks at scale with AI security strategies

Network cyberattacks are no longer isolated incidents. They are a constant, relentless assault on network infrastructure, probing for vulnerabilities in routing, session handling, and authentication flows. With AI at their disposal, threat actors can move faster than ever, shifting tactics mid-attack to bypass static defenses.Legacy systems, designed for simpler threats, cannot keep pace. Modern network security demands a new approach, combining real-time visibility, automated response, AI-driven adaptation, and decentralized protection to secure critical infrastructure without sacrificing speed or availability.At Gcore, we believe security must move as fast as your network does. So, in this article, we explore how L3/L4 network security is evolving to meet new network security challenges and how AI strengthens defenses against today’s most advanced threats.Smarter threat detection across complex network layersModern threats blend into legitimate traffic, using encrypted command-and-control, slow drip API abuse, and DNS tunneling to evade detection. Attackers increasingly embed credential stuffing into regular login activity. Without deep flow analysis, these attempts bypass simple rate limits and avoid triggering alerts until major breaches occur.Effective network defense today means inspection at Layer 3 and Layer 4, looking at:Traffic flow metadata (NetFlow, sFlow)SSL/TLS handshake anomaliesDNS request irregularitiesUnexpected session persistence behaviorsGcore Edge Security applies real-time traffic inspection across multiple layers, correlating flows and behaviors across routers, load balancers, proxies, and cloud edges. Even slight anomalies in NetFlow exports or unexpected east-west traffic inside a VPC can trigger early threat alerts.By combining packet metadata analysis, flow telemetry, and historical modeling, Gcore helps organizations detect stealth attacks long before traditional security controls react.Automated response to contain threats at network speedDetection is only half the battle. Once an anomaly is identified, defenders must act within seconds to prevent damage.Real-world example: DNS amplification attackIf a volumetric DNS amplification attack begins saturating a branch office's upstream link, automated systems can:Apply ACL-based rate limits at the nearest edge routerFilter malicious traffic upstream before WAN degradationAlert teams for manual inspection if thresholds escalateSimilarly, if lateral movement is detected inside a cloud deployment, dynamic firewall policies can isolate affected subnets before attackers pivot deeper.Gcore’s network automation frameworks integrate real-time AI decision-making with response workflows, enabling selective throttling, forced reauthentication, or local isolation—without disrupting legitimate users. Automation means threats are contained quickly, minimizing impact without crippling operations.Hardening DDoS mitigation against evolving attack patternsDDoS attacks have moved beyond basic volumetric floods. Today, attackers combine multiple tactics in coordinated strikes. Common attack vectors in modern DDoS include the following:UDP floods targeting bandwidth exhaustionSSL handshake floods overwhelming load balancersHTTP floods simulating legitimate browser sessionsAdaptive multi-vector shifts changing methods mid-attackReal-world case study: ISP under hybrid DDoS attackIn recent years, ISPs and large enterprises have faced hybrid DDoS attacks blending hundreds of gigabits per second of L3/4 UDP flood traffic with targeted SSL handshake floods. Attackers shift vectors dynamically to bypass static defenses and overwhelm infrastructure at multiple layers simultaneously. Static defenses fail in such cases because attackers change vectors every few minutes.Building resilient networks through self-healing capabilitiesEven the best defenses can be breached. When that happens, resilient networks must recover automatically to maintain uptime.If BGP route flapping is detected on a peering session, self-healing networks can:Suppress unstable prefixesReroute traffic through backup transit providersPrevent packet loss and service degradation without manual interventionSimilarly, if a VPN concentrator faces resource exhaustion from targeted attack traffic, automated scaling can:Spin up additional concentratorsRedistribute tunnel sessions dynamicallyMaintain stable access for remote usersGcore’s infrastructure supports self-healing capabilities by combining telemetry analysis, automated failover, and rapid resource scaling across core and edge networks. This resilience prevents localized incidents from escalating into major outages.Securing the edge against decentralized threatsThe network perimeter is now everywhere. Branches, mobile endpoints, IoT devices, and multi-cloud services all represent potential entry points for attackers.Real-world example: IoT malware infection at the branchMalware-infected IoT devices at a branch office can initiate outbound C2 traffic during low-traffic periods. Without local inspection, this activity can go undetected until aggregated telemetry reaches the central SOC, often too late.Modern edge security platforms deploy the following:Real-time traffic inspection at branch and edge routersBehavioral anomaly detection at local points of presenceAutomated enforcement policies blocking malicious flows immediatelyGcore’s edge nodes analyze flows and detect anomalies in near real time, enabling local containment before threats can propagate deeper into cloud or core systems. Decentralized defense shortens attacker dwell time, minimizes potential damage, and offloads pressure from centralized systems.How Gcore is preparing networks for the next generation of threatsThe threat landscape will only grow more complex. Attackers are investing in automation, AI, and adaptive tactics to stay one step ahead. Defending modern networks demands:Full-stack visibility from core to edgeAdaptive defense that adjusts faster than attackersAutomated recovery from disruption or compromiseDecentralized detection and containment at every entry pointGcore Edge Security delivers these capabilities, combining AI-enhanced traffic analysis, real-time mitigation, resilient failover systems, and edge-to-core defense. In a world where minutes of network downtime can cost millions, you can’t afford static defenses. We enable networks to protect critical infrastructure without sacrificing performance, agility, or resilience.Move faster than attackers.
