Reto

Doctors strive to provide consistent and reliable care for their patients. Having a personal experience with cancer, and wanting to better her world, Brittany Wenger decided to use her abilities as a scientist and researcher to create an incredible, almost living, network that diagnoses breast cancer.

Solución

By using the power of the Cloud, Brittany created an incredible network that proved to detect cancer accurately. Her Google Science Fair entry resembled an artificial brain that essentially taught the cloud network how to detect patterns that were too complex to be recognized by humans. By applying these artificial neural networks to individualized data her program could detect breast cancer with a 99.1% accuracy. Her program is being used in hospitals to diagnose patients.
