Journal of Medical Internet Research | Can Artificial Intelligence Be Used to Diagnose Influenza?
JMIR Publications published “Examining the Use of an Artificial Intelligence Model to Diagnose Influenza: Development and Validation Study” in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, which reported that it may be possible to diagnose influenza infection by applying deep learning to pharyngeal images given that influenza primarily infects the upper respiratory system. These authors aimed to develop a deep learning model to diagnose influenza infection using pharyngeal images and clinical information. They recruited patients who visited clinics and hospitals because of influenza-like symptoms. In the training stage, the authors developed a diagnostic prediction artificial intelligence (AI) model based on deep learning to predict polymerase chainRead More →
