An artificial intelligence-based diagnostic tool has reduced hospital admissions by 51% among at-risk elderly patients, according to results of a trial released by health care provider Clare Medical. Announcing the results of its trial on Wednesday, Clare Medical concluded that predicting which patients have a higher probability of experiencing medical "events" significantly reduces the probability of such events occurring. This is because its AI-based tool provides clinicians with the opportunity for early intervention. The trial found that the use of AI-based diagnostics has significantly positive outcomes with respect to reducing a patient's risk of requiring a hospital visit within 30 days. At a time when the coronavirus pandemic is placing significant strain on the world's health systems, such outcomes could end up saving substantial amounts of time and money for hospitals, not to mention the benefits for patients themselves.
