Artificial intelligence outperforms clinical tests at predicting progress of Alzheimer’s disease
JULY 12, 2024 by University of Cambridge Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainCambridge scientists have developed an artificially-intelligent tool capable of predicting in four cases out of five whether people with early signs of dementia will remain stable or develop Alzheimer’s disease. The team say this new approach could reduce the need for invasive and costly diagnostic...

Spotting Parkinson’s disease through AI
by Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Tracking wearable sensors, filming the patients performing routine exercises, or examining their handwriting—which is better for Parkinson’s detection? Researchers at Skoltech performed a comparative study of these three patient-driven monitoring approaches based on machine learning to find out what technique is most reliable for doctors...

An Idea From Physics Helps AI See in Higher Dimensions
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE An Idea From Physics Helps AI See in Higher DimensionsThe laws of physics stay the same no matter one’s perspective. Now this idea is allowing computers to detect features in curved and higher-dimensional space. Computers can now drive cars, beat world champions at board games like chess and Go, and even write prose....

There Are Two Kinds of AI, and the Difference is Important
Most of today’s AI is designed to solve specific problems. Popular Science|Dan Baum Today’s artificial intelligence is certainly formidable. It can beat world champions at intricate games like chess and Go, or dominate at Jeopardy!. It can interpret heaps of data for us, guide driver less cars, respond to spoken commands, and track down the answers to your internet search...

Blood based test using AI and nanotechnology devised for chronic fatigue syndrome
By Dr. Ananya Mandal, MD People suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have been up until now treated with scepticism at best. Their symptoms have been negated as vague and their debilitating condition has not received the status of being proven in a test. No more now! Researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a blood based test that...

Google’s AI Can Predict When A Patient Will Die
AI knows when you’re going to die. But unlike in sci-fi movies, that information could end up saving lives. A new paper published in Nature suggests that feeding electronic health record data to a deep learning model could substantially improve the accuracy of projected outcomes. In trials using data from two U.S. hospitals, researchers were able to show that these...
