This Artificial Intelligence Can Predict Whether You Will Have a Heart Attack
Artificial intelligence is now being successfully used to scan medical data and predict whether patients will have strokes or heart attacks. In a recent study, the AI system was more accurate at predicting these possible occurrences than doctors. The AI system works by learning from past medical record data and finding common factors between patients that have had heart attacks with people that might have heart attacks. As you might be able to imagine, correctly predicting sudden events likes strokes is a rather hard task that often results in doctors making very educated guesses. According to Futurism, Correct calls were made in 355 more cases than by doctors alone, which is a significant margin when you weigh that each correct case could mean the difference between life or death.
