Google’s Medical Brain team is now training its AI to predict the death risk among hospital patients — and its early results show it has slightly higher accuracy than a hospital’s own warning system. Bloomberg describes the healthcare potential of the Medical Brain’s findings, including its ability to use previously unusable information in order to reach its predictions. The AI, once fed this data, made predictions about the likelihood of death, discharge, and readmission. In a paper published in Nature in May, from Google’s team, it says of its predictive algorithm: These models outperformed traditional, clinically-used predictive models in all cases. We…
