Weill Cornell Receives Grant to Build AI Kidney Imaging Database for Polycystic Disease Research

News summary

Weill Cornell Medicine has received a five-year grant to develop TRACE, an AI-powered tool that measures organ volumes from imaging data to support research and improve care for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a genetic condition affecting about 600,000 Americans. TRACE aims to create a national PKD imaging database with deidentified MRI and CT scans, making data publicly accessible to advance research and clinical trials. Meanwhile, patients like Lucy Bradley have raised concerns about receiving kidney disease diagnoses through automated NHS app notifications without adequate information or immediate access to healthcare professionals, highlighting the emotional impact and need for better communication pathways. Kidney Research UK volunteers play a vital role in supporting dialysis patients by providing emotional and practical help beyond clinical treatment, addressing the isolation and challenges faced by those undergoing dialysis. Additionally, AI-driven solutions, including federated learning and machine learning models, are revolutionizing nephrology by enhancing diagnostics, optimizing treatments, improving patient engagement, and supporting transplant success, thereby advancing kidney disease management and patient outcomes globally.
