AI in the Diagnosis of Rare Diseases
For anyone who is sick and looking for an answer to the question of what their symptoms mean, a diagnosis can be helpful. That sounds easier than it is, because it’s not always possible to clearly link symptoms to a specific disease. Individual factors or pre-existing conditions can influence the course of a disease to such an extent that diagnosis becomes difficult. And sometimes the condition is a rare disease, one of the characteristics of which is that there is comparatively little empirical data available about it.
