Hospitals trial 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 in advance of the condition occuring.

Imperial College and Chelsea and Westminster hospital NHS foundation trusts have started training the AI system – called Aire-DM – that checks patients’ ECG heart traces for subtle early warning signs that are tricky for doctors to otherwise detect.

Clinical trials are planned for 2025 to see if it works as well as is hoped.
