AI robot by Google makes life changing predictions for patients

AI saves the day again as Google gives a helping hand in the health sector. Google has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) robot that can predict a patient's risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular events. The new robot, built in partnership with health organisation Verily, uses AI to analyse data from almost 300,000 patients and then predict cardiovascular outcomes based on the data and patient assessment. Deep learning is used to spot patterns in the information, learning the early signs of life threatening diseases from eye scans and the metrics needed to predict the risk. The tech giant's new robot reads a patient's retinas to assess the risk of heart disease.
