Want to know your death date? Ask Google

A new deep learning model has been designed by the Google which can predict the 'inpatient mortality' with an accuracy of 95 percent. Google has done this with active help from UC San Francisco, Stanford Medicine, and The University of Chicago Medicine colleagues.

Making use of Machine learning, for healthcare by the Google team comes as a part of their recent attempts which they previously applied to actions like traffic predictions, translations and others. The clinical predictions by the computer system came out to be astonishingly accurate, as they predicted if the patient will stay long in the hospital with an 86 percent accuracy and further unexpected readmissions with a 77 percent accuracy, marking 'statistical significance' in the area.

The deep learning models were also used to recognise the patient's condition, in addition to making the predictions

“The entire idea is still in its early age and that the test simply suggests how machine learning can be used to improve healthcare,” Google said.
