Researchers at McGill University have developed an artificial intelligence platform that can predict when someone is about to come down with a respiratory tract infection, before they begin to feel sick.
Their study involved participants wearing a ring, a watch and a t-shirt equipped with sensors that recorded biometric data.
Analysis of the data enabled researchers to accurately predict acute systemic inflammation; an early sign of a respiratory infection.
Their work has been published in The Lancet Digital Health, and says the AI platform might one day help doctors address health problems in patients who are fragile and might even reduce costs for the health-care system with fewer complications and hospitalizations.
