AI can determine whether you'll die from Covid-19 with 90% accuracy

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now a group of developers have created AI software that can tell whether you are likely to die from Covid-19 using health data. University of Copenhagen researchers fed a computer program with health data from 3,944 Danish COVID-19 patients, as well as any underlying conditions. They then trained it to look for patterns in a patients' prior illness to determine the risk factors and potential outcome from Covid-19 and found that BMI, age and being male were the highest risk factors when it came to the likelihood of dying. The results show that AI can, with up to 90 per cent certainty, determine whether an uninfected person will die of the disease if they are unlucky enough to catch it. Results from the new tool could help health officials determine who should be at the front of the line for a limited supply of vaccines, said lead author Mads Nielsen. They say this should be considered when determining who should get the vaccine first.


Artificial intelligence could be key to detecting diabetes and heart disease among South Asians

According to a study by the NYU Center for the Study of Asian American Health (CSAAH), diabetes, which increases the risk of heart diseases, is rife among South Asians. The report's findings conclude that in the United States, South Asian immigrants are 7 times more likely to have type 2 diabetes than the general population, and in New York City, Indian immigrants are at a greater risk of hospitalization for diabetes than other immigrants.


Machine learning in Medical field

#artificialintelligence

In this post, I will test the effectiveness of machine learning in the medical field especially in classifying whether or not a person has heart disease. AS well, I will guide you through building some classifiers from the scikit-learn library then, we will highlight the best accuracy. According to the World health organization, 17.9 million deaths caused by Cardiovascular diseases each year. Our objective here is help doctors diagnose heart disease faster, and also inform patient who are at high risk. Through this post we will try to solve these important questions: 1- Who are more likely to have heart disease?
