DeepMind is the artificial intelligence company that is owned by
Alphabet. It recently unveiled a new research report where it details
the development of technology that can predict acute kidney injuries in
patients about two days earlier than what is possible today.
DeepMind AI Used For Predicting Acute Kidney Injury 2 Days Earlier
DeepMind, in collaboration with the US Department of Veteran Affairs,
was able to apply AI to de-identified electronic health record database
that obtained from VA medical facilities. The database featured 703,782
adult patients over 172 inpatient and 1,062 outpatient sites. The
research was published in Nature and showed that the system was able to
accurately predict acute kidney injury 48 hours earlier as opposed to
current methods. It was also able to predict nine out of ten patients
that would actually need treatment such as kidney dialysis owing to
extreme deterioration.

Furthermore, the model was able to predict 55.8% of all inpatient episodes of acute kidney injury and 90.2% of all acute kidney injuries that needed enhanced invasive treatment. DeepMind has also shared the results of a peer review of its mobile medical…Continue Reading
