An artificial intelligence (AI) project is expanding healthcare for remote communities in Saskatchewan.
Synthesis Health has delivered portable x-ray machines to Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation. According to the company’s chief medical officer, Deepak Kaura, it’s the first in Canada.
“A lot of these communities have never had x-ray, you know, patients travelled eight or 10 hours for x-ray, and most don’t travel,” he told CTV News.
Preventative health manager for the area, Genevieve St. Denis said it was exciting for the community.
