Tech Kolos Samsung works together with Decentralized Science (DESCI) and Articial Intelligence Protocol of Healthcare to provide AI training data from its ultrasound devices.
According to a Tuesday announcement that was shared with Cointelegraph, Samsung said that it will integrate its ultrasound equipment with the Electronic Health Record (EPD) platform of Galeon. Speaking with Cointelegraph, Galeon CEO Rooc Brotons said that the EPD is already live in 18 interconnected hospitals, including those in France at Rouen University Hospital, Caen University Hospital, Toulon Hospital and Sud Francilien Hospital.
Samsung and Galeon said the effort is intended to improve the availability of medical data and at the same time retain a privacy-first approach. Brotons said that the data itself is not stored on an onchain; Only the AI algorithm works onchain “with full traceability of how the algorithm works.” He added that all data were anonymous before training for privacy reasons reasons.
With the cooperation, healthcare providers can train AI models without centralizing patient information. Each hospital or institution retains control of its data and benefits from the training of shared algorithm.

Decentralized science assumes medicine
Healthcare has emerged as one of the most active sectors in decentralized science. Alex Dobrin, awareness steward in Vitadao – a decentralized collective that works to extend the human lifespan – Cointelegraph told that the time and cost requirements of drug development motivate people to take matters into their own hands.
In May, Desci claimed decentralized autonomous organization Hydradao that one of its research projects resulted in “rats that had completely endured their spines” able to walk again in five days. Such news seems to bring to investors.

Investors show interest in DESCI
Desci Platform Bio Protocol has a backing of investors, including Maelstrom Fund and Animoca brands, in a $ 6.9 million financing round earlier this month. This followed on the investment of the Binance Labs company, the ventricle capital arm of the cryptocurrency Exchange, at the end of 2024.
Data is central to many of those projects, where Desci platforms are now fighting to acquire genetic data from bankrupt DNA test service 23andme.
