Microsoft has created a new AI with Probabilistic disease progression modeling or (PDPM) to help doctors.
It uses observational medical data to establish (2) states:
- The first determines the number of disease states
- The second builds a probelistic disease progression model
This in turn can be used by doctors to better understand patients individual conditions and how they may be likely to develop. It could give information about a wide range of symptoms – from shaking hands to mood swings and use that to help identify the biomarkers of diseases including diabetes, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
The ultimate goal is for Machine Learning and AI to help doctors make more accurate diagnoses which could allow for more effective treatment AND could ultimately save lives.
Why It’s Hot:
Applying unique predictive modeling to AI opens up a whole new world of opportunities. In this instance ,it could help save lives when applied to the medical field. Other predictive models across areas such as law enforcement, mental health, and climate change could also help bring positive outcomes.
