Simulating Patients for Developing Artificial Intelligence Based Medical Solutions

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a data processing system, causes the data processing system to implement a cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism for simulating patients for developing artificial intelligence based medical solutions, and further causes the data processing system to:

• perturb, by a non-image based information perturbation engine of the cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism, non-image based information of a real patient from a real patient data set forming perturbed non-image based information;
• generate, by an artificial patient assembly engine of the cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism, an artificial patient data in an artificial patient data set using the perturbed non-image based information and a non-perturbed medical image of the real patient;
• and
• train, by a training engine of the cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism, an operation of a learning algorithm utilized by the cognitive data processing system using real patient data in the real patient data set and the artificial patient data in the artificial patient data set.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to implement a cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism for simulating patients for developing artificial intelligence based medical solutions, and further causes the at least one processor to:
• perturb, by a non-image based information perturbation engine of the cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism, non-image based information of a real patient from a real patient data set forming perturbed non-image based information;
• generate, by an artificial patient assembly engine of the cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism, an artificial patient data in an artificial patient data set using the perturbed non-image based information and a non-perturbed medical image of the real patient;
• and
• train, by a training engine of the cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism, an operation of a learning algorithm utilized by the cognitive data processing system using real patient data in the real patient data set and the artificial patient data in the artificial patient data set.
