Using your ECG tests, AI can predict if you will die within a year
Researchers from Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania analyzed the results of 1.77 million ECGs and other records from almost 400,000 patients. The team used this data to compare machine learning-based models that either directly analyzed the raw ECG signals or relied on aggregated human-derived measures (standard ECG features typically recorded by a cardiologist) and commonly diagnosed disease patterns. The neural network model that directly analyzed the ECG signals was found to be superior for predicting one-year risk of death. The neural network was able to accurately predict risk of death even in patients deemed by a physician to have a normal ECG.
Just a fun thought: While machines and AI algorithms are still benign, what will happen when machines become autonomous and superior to humans - will they "take action" to prove their superiority? It is scary if the result at stake is something like that above.
