AI tool may reduce diagnosis time in psoriatic arthritis

A new artificial intelligence tool may improve diagnosis speed in patients with psoriatic arthritis, according to a press release summarizing data from the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology's Spring Symposium 2022. The summarized study was a retrospective investigation and analysis of more than 2.5 million members in an Israeli health care system, the release said. PredictAI, the software in question, analyzed medical records of more than 2,000 patients with PsA. Following training, the tool was tested against a second group of patients. During that testing, the tool accurately diagnosed 32% to 51% of cases between 1 and 4 years before a clinician's diagnosis was received.
