AI-Based Approach Crunches Real-World Data To Emulate Clinical Trials
February 4, 2021 By Deborah Borfitz February 4, 2021 | A computer scientist at The Ohio State University (OSU) recently demonstrated the potential of artificial intelligence to crunch real-world data and emulate randomized clinical trials, speeding the pace of drug repurposing. The initial use case was focused on preventing heart failure and stroke in patients with coronary artery disease, but the model could be applied to any disease with a definable outcome, says Ping Zhang, who leads the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Lab at OSU. Zhang is senior author of a recently pub...
