A branch of artificial intelligence (AI), called machine learning, can accurately predict the risk of an out of hospital cardiac arrest – when the heart suddenly stops beating – using a combination of timing and weather data, finds research published online in the journal Heart.
Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms, and based on the idea that systems can learn from data and identify patterns to inform decisions with minimal intervention.
The risk of a cardiac arrest was highest on Sundays, Mondays, public holidays and when temperatures dropped sharply within or between days, the findings show. [Read more…] about Machine learning ‘accurately predicts cardiac arrest risk’
