Artificial intelligence can predict when you die

Newly developed in the US can predict when a patient will die of illness and help the doctor choose a more reasonable care plan.

Overcoming illness is everyone's hope, so Stanford University's artificial Artificial Intelligence (USA) also faced many criticisms when it was born. However, from a practical perspective, knowing the inevitable death can actually help patients experience the last few days more gently thanks to a reasonable palliative care plan.

According to researchers, there are too many people struggling with the last days in the ICU (intensive recovery unit), experiencing many unnecessary and painful procedures, just because family members hope they will live.

Contrary to expectations in the role of relatives, people seem to think differently when placing themselves in the role of patients. A survey showed that up to 80% of Americans want to spend the last months comfortably in their own homes, doing what they like. However, only 20% do it because doctors and family members will want them to try to reach the end of the hospital.

Therefore, artificial intelligence will be entrusted to heavy work: informing the truth about death , so that patients and relatives have a more precise way of handling. At the same time, it will help doctors avoid excessive prognosis, and not miss out on hopeful cases. These "predictions" are actually the result of sophisticated algorithms based on the context and related factors.

Technically, this is very beneficial for patients. Instead of suffering from countless tricks trying to find a false hope, they will receive palliative care - whose main goal is to reduce pain, discomfort from the disease, improve the quality of life, Helping patients have a more comfortable ending.
