Researchers have created an AI tool capable of diagnosing several health conditions, including COVID-19 and type 1 diabetes, by screening gene sequences from immune cells in blood samples. In a study involving nearly 600 participants, the tool effectively distinguished between healthy individuals and those with different diseases. Although it's not ready for clinical use yet, it holds promise for comprehensive health assessments, potentially identifying conditions lacking definitive tests in the future. Experts believe this could provide a holistic overview of an individual's immune history.
From a real-world point of view, the promise would be to have one foundation model for the immune system where you can read out everything that a person has seen and then link it to their health care.
This is a one-shot sequencing approach that captures everything that your immune system has been exposed to.
