AI for Personalized Medicine

Increasingly sophisticated and powerful, artificial intelligence has the potential to usher in a new era of precision, or personalized, medicine. AI-powered medical interventions could improve diagnosis and treatment by sensing, analyzing, and responding to the data our bodies generate through brain signals, sweat, and more. Electrical and medical engineer Azita Emami (Caltech's Andrew and Peggy Cherng Professor of Electrical Engineering and Medical Engineering) discusses how her lab incorporates AI into medical devices to improve health and enhance quality of life. The conversation focuses on early seizure detection and a brain-machine interface that people who are paralyzed can use to move robotic limbs or operate computers using only their intentions.

Thank you for this wonderful conversation ❤️

Very promising if you can tell which patient will benefit from in ex. heart medications, and who will develope severe sideeffect, leading to urgent hospitalization and even death. To prolong my life span, I had 7 different medications in max. dosis, after a benign stent op, and during the next 10 weeks, I was hospitalised 6 times, with severe lifethreathening conditions attacking other organs than the heart, before doctors had to take away the betablockers, ACE inhibitors, blodthinners, diuretics and statins. That would be nice to know in advance.
