AI can predict which research will translate to clinical trials

Researchers have created an AI model that analyses the citations of studies, predicting their potential for eventual clinical application. Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict which scientific discoveries are more likely to translate to the clinic. The study was conducted by researchers from the Office of Portfolio Analysis (OPA), part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). The team say that their aim is to decrease the long interval between scientific discovery and clinical application. The new process determines the likelihood that a research article will be cited by a future clinical trial or guideline.
