It takes an average of eight years to assess whether a patient has a rare disease, but that time might be greatly reduced in the future with the aid of artificial intelligence.
AI in medicine - drugs development, detection of uncommon diseases...
21 February 2023
Artificial intelligence is already being used in medicine for drug discovery, diagnostics, and choosing the best therapy. Its advantages include the ability to handle vast amounts of data, having high accuracy, and not tiring like a person, in this example, a doctor.
The application of artificial intelligence in the detection of uncommon diseases does not imply that the algorithm will take over healthcare, but rather that it will assist clinicians in providing patients with timely medication. Based on the doctor's report, the algorithm should discover probable signs of uncommon disorders that the doctor will study further.
"We are developing an algorithm that will be dumber than any person, but it will be able to digest a massive quantity of data in a very short period of time, allowing us to finally find the presence of some uncommon disease. "We picked Fabry's illness for the initial tests, and then we'll perform more and Hunter's disease", said Dr. Branka Rakic, leader of the "AI in Healthcare and Lifescience" research group.
