NIH SciBites: Using AI to Diagnose Rare Diseases
on channel: NIH IRP (Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health)
More than 30 million Americans live with a rare disease. For these patients, effective treatment requires an accurate diagnosis, but that’s easier said than done. David D’Onofrio, a postbaccalaureate research fellow in the Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health, is creating computer programs that use artificial intelligence to help find the rare mutations responsible for patients’ symptoms. With more advanced software tools like his at their disposal, doctors can more quickly diagnose patients and figure out the best treatment for their unique conditions.
