1.Breakthrough AI Tool DOLPHIN Revolutionizes Disease Diagnosis

McGill University’s unveiling of the AI-powered tool DOLPHIN marks a turning point in clinical diagnostics. DOLPHIN distinguishes itself by mapping the intricate landscape of RNA variations at the single-cell level, uncovering disease signals and biomarkers that conventional methods routinely miss. Its success in pancreatic cancer research, identifying over 800 high-risk cellular markers, has already influenced clinical trial designs and personalized medicine strategies. The platform’s modular architecture enables it to ingest massive datasets from genomic sequencing and reconstruct the cellular microenvironment virtually, offering unparalleled insights into disease progression. Clinicians are now piloting DOLPHIN in Alzheimer’s disease and autoimmune disorders, and preliminary results suggest a 20 percent improvement in early diagnosis rates when compared with legacy systems. DOLPHIN sets the bar for AI’s role in biologically guided treatments, with patent filings underway for its unique “virtual cell” approach.

Real-World Impact: Healthcare providers will see improved outcomes from earlier, more targeted interventions. Patients benefit from a greater chance at preventive care and personalized treatment strategies that minimize invasive procedures and lower overall costs.

For AI Marketplace: The AI Marketplace will provide healthcare developers access to DOLPHIN’s core algorithms and customizable APIs, supporting integration into electronic health records, lab equipment, and next-gen clinical decision-support apps.
