Patriot One’s Xtract AI Division Secures Grant to Work on Deep Learning for Enhancing Organ Donation Rates with Health Can...
June 02 2020 - 07:00AM
Patriot One Technologies Inc.’s (TSX: PAT) (OTCQX: PTOTF)
(FRANKFURT: 0PL) wholly-owned subsidiary Xtract Technologies Inc
(“Xtract AI”) is pleased to announce it has
secured a $150,000CAD grant with Health Canada via the Innovative
Solutions Canada program to utilize artificial intelligence in a
bid to increase the success rate of organ donation, as well as the
success rate of transplantations within Canada.
The “Deep Learning for Enhancing Organ Donation
Rates” project looks to solve the problem that donation and
transplantation success rates have not kept up with an increasing
number of donors over the years. To help improve donation success
rates, a tool is needed to better predict the donation window for a
potential donor so that limited healthcare resources can be used
more efficiently and effectively. To help improve transplantation
success rates, a tool is needed to standardize and personalize
assessment of donor and organ suitability to assist with decisions
about organ retrieval, as well as a tool to help organ recipients
make the complicated decision of whether to accept a donor organ or
wait for a better match. Xtract AI plans to use their expertise in
artificial intelligence to model the process of finding the right
donors and will also develop a model that helps recipients make the
complex decision of accepting an organ.
Xtract AI will develop a semi-automated deep
learning system to identify the best potential for donor-recipient
matches for kidney transplantation. Building on publicly available
data, these matches will be labeled as a “good” or “bad” based on
the organ survival times. This dataset will then be used to train a
model which can be used for identifying better matches. This system
can be used to identify a confidence score for all of the possible
matches and will be ranked to identify optimal donors for a given
recipient.
Additionally, Xtract AI will use data from the
United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) registry to build a dataset
of waiting times for kidney transplant recipients in the waitlist
queue. This model, along with the matching model described above,
will help the recipients decide whether to accept one of the
potential donors or wait for a better donor. The model can also be
used to identify the “good match” donors that have high scores for
multiple recipients and similarly, identify donor organs with
potentially problematic features by filtering those that obtain low
scores for multiple recipients.
Elliot Holtham, a founder at Xtract AI, said
“This is exciting work for a very important issue. Deep learning
algorithms are highly generalizable and we hope our model may be
expanded to other organ transplants, as needed.”
