Computer that predicts illness in development at Erasmus, TU Delft
Wiro Niessen, professor of Medical Imaging at Erasmus MC and TU Delft, is working on developing a computer system that can see the future - or at least predict future illnesses in individuals long before they actually get sick, NOS reports. "If you follow people for five to en years and they start having memory problems or Alzheimer's, then we go back to see if there were something on the scans a few years ago", Niessen explained to the broadcaster. If you manage to build up the database large enough, by collecting a lot of scans of healthy and unhealthy brains, the computer could recognize indicators of certain diseases before symptoms appear. With his futuristic computer system, Niessen is currently focusing on predicting cardiovascular diseases and neuro-degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
