A new artificial intelligence model finds that x-ray images collected during routine medical care can provide warning signs for diabetes, even in patients who don’t meet the guidelines for elevated risk. The model could help physicians detect the disease earlier and prevent complications, says a multi-institutional team that published the findings in Nature Communications. Applying the computational method...

Facebook claims its AI can predict four days in advance if a coronavirus patient’s condition will deteriorate
By STACY LIBERATORE Facebook claims to have designed software capable of predicting if a coronavirus patient’s health will deteriorate or will need oxygen just by scanning their chest X-rays. Working with New York University (NYU), the social media firm says the system can calculate such developments four days. Together they have built three machine-learning models to assist doctors...
