Summary

AI Revolutionizes Diagnostics

Delphi-2M, an AI model, predicts over 1,000 diseases from medical records with high risk-assessment accuracy.
Trained on UK Biobank data and validated on Danish patients.
In Lagos, AI tools could improve diagnostics amid shortage of specialists. Emmanuel Adefila's projects focus on early detection of keratoconus and breast cancer, and ethical design prioritizes privacy and interpretability.

Summary

AI Identifies Asthma Risk

Mayo Clinic researchers developed artificial intelligence (AI) tools to identify children aged 3 at high risk for severe asthma and respiratory infections, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
Using electronic health records from 22,000 children, flagged individuals had higher rates of pneumonia, flu, and RSV.
Findings indicate a high-risk asthma subtype with allergic inflammation and impaired lung function, guiding targeted therapies.
