Artificial Intelligence Can Now Gauge Your Risk of Cardiovascular Death

The benefits of AI in the health care spectrum are truly life-changing… and quite literally saving lives. Finally, some non-scary artificial intelligence (AI) news that won't scare the living bejeezus out of you: artificial intelligence has proven to be a key feather in the transformative cap of health care We are benefitted by AI when it can trumpet the need for preventative interventions by predicting such health threats as catching type 1 diabetes and helping predict breast cancer, along with its role in automated operations and precision surgery. Yes, the benefits of AI in the health care spectrum are truly life-changing… and quite literally saving lives. Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are using machine learning to estimate the risk of cardiovascular death. The system, RiskCardio, focuses on patients who have survived an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and can better predict the risk of death caused by cardiovascular issues that block or reduce blood flow.
