Google's Medical Brain team uses AI to predict patient's health and even death risk

According to Google, its AI is much better and faster at predicting death than hospitals Google’s ‘Medical Brain’ team has now integrated artificial intelligence to predict the death risk among hospital patients. According to a Bloomberg report, Google’s health-care potential of neural networks is a form of artificial intelligence software that’s particularly good at using data to automatically learn and improve. Google’s team on 8 May this year, published its findings in a paper on Nature titled ‘Scalable and accurate deep learning with electronic health records.’ In a case study of a woman with metastatic breast cancer, Google utilised its algorithm and 24 hours after she was admitted, Google predicted a 19.9 percent likelihood of her dying within the hospital. According to the report, it is not sure if the tech giant will use the neural networks as a business model, however, at the Google I/O this is year, in May, Medical Brain’s Lily Peng emphasised how it outmatched humans at spotting diseases.
