We can!
Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can analyze retinal scans and identify patients at a high risk of heart attack. Their research was published in Nature Machine Intelligence.
Tell me more.
In the study, deep learning techniques were used to train an AI system to automatically read retinal scans over one year and identify people who were likely to have a heart attack in the future.
What is deep learning?
Deep learning is a complex series of algorithms that enable computers to identify patterns in data in order to make predictions.
The study scientists reported that the AI system had an accuracy of between 70% and 80% and could be used as a second referral mechanism for in-depth cardiovascular examination. (via)
