NUHS is developing GPT for its healthcare

Utilizing state-of-the-art supercomputing facilities, the National University of Singapore Health System has recently developed its own large language model to enhance physicians’ productivity.

Called NUHS RUSSELL-GPT, the model can summarize patient case notes and write referral letters to doctors in “a matter of seconds,” according to a media release. It also allows NUHS staff to ask questions about medical conditions and clinical practice guidelines.

It is also used in NUHS’s Patient Path Prediction AI model, which predicts a patient’s individual healthcare journeys by analyzing historical data.

NUHS is now progressively rolling out the Healthcare LLM across its group. Furthermore, he plans to use the model to predict the severity and course of common conditions, such as urinary tract infections.

larger context

The development of RUSSELL-GPT is part of the NUHS AI program that leverages Prescience supercomputing infrastructure. Developed jointly with Singapore’s National Supercomputing Centre, the petabyte-scale supercomputing facility at the National University Hospital, will be fully operational by the end of July.

With multiple NVIDIA DGX A100 compute nodes, Prescience accommodates large volumes of LLMs, which was not previously possible with single GPUs, according to NUHS.

Bernard Tan, Director of Strategy, Planning and Engagement at NSCC, commented.

Another AI project built with Prescience is SMILE AI (Intelligent Observation and Intelligent Learning to Improve Oral Health). It is a 3D dental model that creates digital representations of the condition of teeth and their locations in the mouth.

In other related news, Synapxe, then Integrated Health Information Systems, recently announced a joint venture with Microsoft to also develop GPT for healthcare. named Secure GPT for Healthcare Professionals The technology will be built using the Azure OpenAI service. Will have the ability to create extensive patient information from doctors’ clinical notes and laboratory reports in an electronic medical record (EMR) system and track medication changes and use.

On the record

NUHS Associate Professor and Group CTO Ngiam Kee Yuan said about RUSSELL-GPT: “From pooling rigorous local medical knowledge to reducing administrative work for our physicians and nurses, MBAs will bring benefits to both healthcare workers and patients.”
