AI tool diagnoses cancer in the UK 🇬🇧 🔎

Hospitals across the UK are rolling out an AI tool for doctors that quickly diagnoses early signs of cancer. Within seconds, the AI tool analyzes X-rays and catches early signs of illness that are overlooked by the human eye.

The British government has committed to rolling out a similar AI tool for stroke diagnosis which will be available by the end of 2023.

The use of AI in the British healthcare system has already had a positive impact on outcomes for patients. In some cases, AI is able to halve the time it takes to diagnose victims, saving critical time in the treatment process. Halving the time to diagnose a stroke has been shown to triple the probability that a victim is able to live independently after a stroke.

In the US, X-rays are the most common tool used to diagnose lung cancer – which is the third leading cause of cancer death in the nation. The deployment of diagnostic AI tools to more clinicians will greatly improve patient outcomes.

Using AI to build the perfect team ⚽️

Soccer came late to the sports analytics party.

Since its dawn in the 19th century, soccer has required decision-making based on the personal experience of individuals or a team.

While statistical analysis has, of course, become a key part of the modern game of football, baseball, and basketball, the game of soccer has lagged behind due to the endless variables and ever-changing nature of the game.

Baseball and Basketball lend themselves far more easily to data-based analysis because games are more regular. A baseball team plays 162 regular season games in a year, compared to just 38 games in the English Premier League.

With the help of AI, things are changing. The AI company DeepMind, which is owned by Google, has developed a model to make decisions for soccer coaches about scouting and positional tactics.

The tool is able to predict what individual players may do in unique situations given their historical play patterns.

To develop the model, Liverpool provided DeepMind with data on every Premier League game played between 2017 and 2019.

The DeepMind model uses ‘ghosting’ to speculate the likelihood of a certain outcome in a soccer situation. This is particularly useful when trying to scout players who would deal with specific types of match situations better than others.

In sporting terms, the ‘Moneyball’ technique, made famous by the Oakland A’s baseball team, involves a comprehensive statistical analysis in order to find players that exhibit underappreciated potential in their sport.

The use of AI would make the Moneyball technique even more efficient by understanding the playing technique of a club’s roster.
