Google claims their A.I. can predict the chance of an admitted patients death within 24 hours with 95% accuracy, approximately 10% more accurate than standard models:
While not as sensational, Stanford's Improving Palliative Care with Deep Learning, which does much the same thing, is intended for Better End-of-Life Care in areas of the family dealing with the patient and their final wishes being met.
That area already covered in the Ars Moriendi, or Art of Dying, a 15th Century book on getting your affairs in order in addition to deathbed etiquette. Such a delicate subject... I remember my uncle laying on his deathbed, dying of emphysema and smoking a cigarette, when I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
I went to the doctor last week. It's not something I put much faith in or do regularly. He said I had the blood pressure of a 20 year old and could live another 30 years. No Thanks.
I came to terms with my mortality long ago. I'd rather pass on while still able-bodied, self-sufficient and relatively healthy than the alternative.
Google may one day be able to predict when you'll die years in advance.
The firm has created an AI that it claims is 95 per cent accurate in predicting whether hospital patients will pass away 24 hours after admission. This is around 10 per cent better than traditional models. To make its predictions, the software uses data such as patient's ethnicity, age, gender, previous diagnoses, lab results and vital signs.
