Hospitals test AI to spot type 2 diabetes risk

Two NHS hospital trusts in London are using AI technology to see if they can spot type 2 diabetes in patients up to a decade before the condition appears.

Imperial College and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust have started training the AI ??system - called Aire-DM - ??which checks patients' ECG heart traces for subtle early warning signs that are tricky to detect. doctors find out differently.

Clinical trials are planned for 2025 to see if it works as well as hoped. The study suggests that the system can detect danger about 70% of the time.

Giving AI additional details about other risk factors, such as a patient's age, gender and whether they already have high blood pressure and or are overweight, could improve predictive power, says lead researcher Dr Fu Siong Ng. An EKG (electrocardiogram) records and can detect problems with the heart's electrical activity, including rhythm and rhythm.

Dr Ng says the EKG changes the system detects are too varied and subtle for even highly skilled doctors to interpret with the naked eye. As part of the trial, up to 1,000 patients at the two hospitals will have ECG scans read by the AI ??system to see if it helps detect and predict the disease.

It's not something that will yet be offered routinely, although experts hope it could become more widespread in the NHS./ CNA
