Achieved 99% Accuracy in Data Annotation
To help a "Health & Wellness Company" Developing Scanning Technology
The company is a leading Canadian oral radiology practice and digital dental lab. The lab provides cone beam computed tomography (CT) scanning services. Besides this, it also provides custom surgical guide fabrication and image interpretations. The brunches of this lab spread in multiple locations across Canada. At present, the company is building virtual models with the help of 3D patient data in a virtual mode.
In 2022, the company launched a new web platform for patients to access their dental records and images online. To make this happen, they needed to align about 5000 3D patient data to a virtual model and match virtual teeth to patient teeth scans. But they lacked the manpower and time. Their database was vast, and resources were limited. With the platform launch approaching, they urgently needed trained staff to organize patient data. They decided to hire full-time resources in-house for the task.
Importance of Data Annotation for Health & Wellness Companies
Data annotation services play a crucial role for health and wellness companies, aiding in the development of accurate and efficient AI-driven solutions. These services involve labeling, tagging, or categorizing data to make it understandable for machines, which is particularly vital in the healthcare sector. With the exponential growth of medical data, data annotation ensures that healthcare companies can effectively leverage machine learning algorithms to extract meaningful insights from large datasets, leading to improved patient care, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes.
In the health and wellness industry, where precision and reliability are paramount, AI Data Annotation Outsourcing Services contribute to enhancing the quality of medical research, diagnostic tools, and treatment protocols. By accurately annotating medical images, clinical notes, genomic data, and other healthcare information, these services enable healthcare professionals to make informed decisions, tailor treatments to individual patients, and optimize healthcare delivery. Ultimately, data annotation services empower health and wellness companies to harness the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to revolutionize patient care and drive advancements in medical science.
Challenges Faced by the Company
The following challenges are encountered by the company in data annotation work;
The company's initial attempt to onboard new personnel for the annotation task proved challenging. Identifying individuals with the necessary skills and expertise was difficult, and the extensive training required further compounded the issue, consuming valuable time and resources.
Despite their efforts, the company soon realized the inefficiency of their in-house approach. The recruitment and training process was cumbersome and failed to yield the desired results within the required timeframe, prompting the leadership team to explore alternative solutions. Plus, migrating health data involve a lot of hurdles, which increased the burden on the employees.
Recognizing the limitations of their internal resources, the company embarked on a search for a reliable outsourcing partner. Their objective was to find a reputable company capable of managing the annotation task efficiently while adhering to budgetary constraints.
