Neural networks in medicine, biotechnology, and pharmacology
02.03.2026
In Belarus, neural networks are being actively used to effectively process vast volumes of medical data. This allows for increased efficiency and accuracy in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment optimization. This topic was featured in an episode of the
"Special Report" program on Channel One.
In an interview with journalists, Olga Vladimirovna Krasko, a leading researcher at the Bioinformatics Laboratory of the United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, noted that AI is used to predict epidemiological risks and automate administrative tasks. In medicine, it is used for personalized approaches, diagnostics, and decision support. "Responsible for my laboratory, I can say that we have implemented a decision support system for transfusion care and for predicting the risks of other complications during the treatment of pediatric cancer patients," Olga Vladimirovna emphasized.
Vasily Alekseevich Kovalev, a leading researcher at the UIIP NAS of Belarus Biomedical Imaging Laboratory, noted the remarkable potential of neural networks for generating fake objects, images, videos, and text. However, the scientist also urged careful use of AI, cautioning against the misuse of such technologies.
