Artificial intelligence has just proven itself to be a life saver for vegetative hospital patients.
A team of China’s best neurologists recently tested their assessments of coma patients in contrast to an AI system. After reviewing the varying conditions of seven patients in Beijing, the doctors rated the patients on a coma recovery scale.
The patients were given very low scores, meaning that it was unlikely they would ever wake up and their families were legally allowed to take them off of life support.The system, which was developed over the course of five years by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and PLA General Hospital, disagreed with the scientists and gave the patients close to full scores with a prediction that they would wake up within 12 months of the scan.
As it turns out, the AI was right – all seven patients woke up from their vegetative states within the year.
