Scientists have developed<\/a> an AI tool capable of forecasting more than 1,000 diseases and predicting health changes up to a decade in advance.<\/p>\n

Experts from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), the German Cancer Research Center, and the University of Copenhagen employed algorithmic principles similar to those used in large language models.<\/p>\n

The AI was trained on data from two independent healthcare systems\u2014anonymized information from 400,000 individuals in the UK Biobank study and 1.9 million patients from Denmark’s national registry.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMedical events often follow predictable patterns. Our AI model learns these and can forecast future health outcomes,\u201d stated Thomas Fitzgerald, a research fellow at the European Bioinformatics Institute.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The new tool assesses the likelihood of a person developing a particular disease and when it might occur. The neural network can predict cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory illnesses, and many other disorders.<\/p>\n

The Delphi-2M model analyzes \u201cmedical events\u201d in a patient’s history and lifestyle factors: excess weight, harmful habits, age, and gender.<\/p>\n

Health risks are expressed as percentages over time, akin to a weather forecast: \u201c70% chance of rain over the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acting Director of EMBL Ewan Birney mentioned that patients will begin to benefit from the tool in the coming years:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cYou come to an appointment, and the doctor is already using such tools and says: \u2018Here are the four main risks in your future, and here are two things you can do to change that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He noted that standard advice like losing weight or quitting smoking will remain, but for some diseases, more specific recommendations will be available.<\/p>\n

Birney highlighted that a key advantage of Delphi-2M over other solutions is its ability to predict all diseases simultaneously over a long period.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDelphi-2M assesses the likelihood of more than 1,000 diseases considering individual medical history, and its accuracy is comparable to existing models for specific diseases,\u201d the project team stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Head of AI at the German Cancer Research Center, Professor Moritz Gerstung, emphasized that Delphi-2M marks the beginning of a new way of understanding human health and disease progression. He stated that generative models could one day personalize care and anticipate healthcare needs across entire systems.<\/p>\n

Earlier in September, researchers from Harvard Medical School introduced<\/a> an AI model capable of identifying precise combinations of genes and drugs to reverse pathological states in human cells.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
