AI Algorithm Raises Heart Attack Diagnosis Accuracy in UK Study

[ad_1] A computer algorithm developed using artificial intelligence accurately distinguished real heart attacks from false alarms, according to an emergency room study that offers a way for overburdened doctors to focus on the sickest patients.The algorithm was able to accurately rule out a heart attack in nearly all patients, according to the study published Thursday in Nature Medicine. The tool, tested in more than 10000 patients in six countries, was 99.6% accurate in ruling out patients who weren't suffering from heart attacks, performed well across different ages and genders. Rapidly developing AI technologies are gaining traction in health care, aiming to streamline processes from drug development to direct patient care.

When it gets something wrong, there's often a legitimate medical dispute over the answer. It's even good at tasks we thought took human compassion, such as finding the right words to deliver bad news to patients. These systems are developing image processing capacity as well. At this point you still need a real doctor to palpate a lump or assess a torn ligament, but AI ...
