Machine Learning Helps Predict Risk of Heart Failure
2019 20 Sep
Heart failure is a common risk associated with patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Recently, new medicines have been developed to offset these risks, however, effective strategies in identifying which T2D patients are most at risk have proved difficult. Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and UT Southwestern Medical Centre have... Read more
Automated Deep Learning in Healthcare
2019 10 Sep
Physicians' expertise is founded on medical science and many of them may not have much familiarity with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, now fast becoming "de rigueur" in medical practice. But, thanks to automated deep learning, even clinicians that aren’t experts in AI may be able to create AI algorithms that can help them with early detection... Read more
