Advances in AI-driven modeling improve outbreak predictions, but success hinges on data accessibility.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly improved the predictability of pathogenic emergence and transmissibility. A recent Nature study emphasizes that the continued success of this technology depends on data transparency and reduced training costs.
How is AI used in healthcare?
Infectious disease epidemiology focuses on the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases among the population and strategies to prevent, control, and mitigate disease outbreaks.
Numerous AI-based applications have been developed to support human health, including patient diagnosis, decision support for doctors, and individual-level disease risk prediction. Currently, AI has been used to a lesser extent in infectious disease epidemiology, which may be attributed to challenges in obtaining...
