With huge patient dataset, AI accurately predicts treatment outcomes

Scientists have designed a new artificial intelligence model that emulates randomized clinical trials at determining the treatment options most effective at preventing stroke in people with heart disease.

The model was front-loaded with de-identified data on millions of patients gleaned from health care claims information submitted by employers, health plans and hospitals – a that their model outperformed seven existing models and came up with the same treatment recommendations as four randomized clinical trials.
