AI predicts disease risk up to a decade in advance

bbc.com — September 17, 2025 at 04:01 PM UTC

An AI model can predict the risk of over 1,000 diseases up to a decade in advance, scientists report. The AI, named Delphi-2M, analyzes medical records to estimate disease likelihood, similar to weather forecasting, aiming to identify high-risk patients for early intervention. Developed using UK Biobank data and tested in Denmark, the model requires further refinement and ethical consideration before clinical use, with potential biases noted.
