Artificial intelligence (AI) might be able to identify patients who have rare diseases years earlier than they would typically be diagnosed, a new study says.
- A newly developed AI program was able to successfully identify people at risk of developing a rare immune disorder, researchers report in Science Translational Medicine.
- Out of a group of 100 people judged at highest risk by the AI program, 74 very likely have the disorder, researchers found. This shows that AI could potentially improve the outcomes of these folks by getting them earlier treatment.
