Medical AI trained on whopping 57 million health records
Briefly

The generative AI model called Foresight has been trained on deidentified health records of 57 million patients from England's NHS. Initially focused on COVID-19 research in a secured data environment, Foresight predicts hospitalizations, heart attacks, and other health conditions. Its ability to derive insights could guide individual patient care and optimize NHS resources in the future, according to researchers. Previous versions of Foresight demonstrated high accuracy in predicting future diagnoses based on patient medical histories. The model is built on comprehensive data spanning hospital records, GP visits, and vaccination data, ensuring patient anonymity through data stripping and secure handling protocols.
Foresight, a generative AI model, analyzes health records of 57 million NHS patients to predict hospitalizations and various health conditions, marking a significant advancement.
Currently restricted to COVID-19 research, Foresight's predictive capabilities could enhance patient care and NHS resource allocation if validated across diverse populations.
