I'd guess it's a 136 thousand run rate, and there's just a typo in the article. $136 million would really be something.

You'll find most most medical algorithms pretty disappointing. :) For example, the algorithm in implantable cardioverter defibrillators generates unnecessary shocks in 1 in 6 patients. Its accuracy is getting worse over time: http:&#x

This is exactly right—the benefit is to prevent strokes by detecting undiagnosed atrial fibrillation.

Circulation published a nice review this week on the rationale for atrial fibrillation screening: circ.ahajournals.org/content/135/19/1851.full?ijkey=StzSPk8eljGaP2G&keytype=ref The main reason is that 10% of strokes

Here, 97% accuracy refers to a c-statistic (area under the ROC curve) of 0.9740. An example operating point would be 98% sensitivity with 90% specificity. For reducing false positives, rather than starting with the general population, it&#x

This could be a signal that people who don't visit the doctor often are more likely to develop CVD. It makes sense—if caught early, risk factors like high BMI, high blood pressure, and high LDL cholesterol can be treated and thereby pr

As others pointed out, it's an overreach to call this artificial intelligence. What the authors showed is that by training standard machine learning algorithms (random forests, logistic regression, gradient boosting, and a shallow neur
