NYUTron Clinical AI Accurately Predicts Health Outcomes

Researchers from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine have published a new paper detailing their AI  NYUTron that can predict health outcomes. NYUTron uses unaltered electronic health records (EHR) and can predict hospital readmissions, hospital deaths, and length of stay with high accuracy. The tool was trained on EHR data from 336,000 patients at NYU Lagone.

According to senior author Eric K. Oermann, MD, “These results demonstrate that large language models make the development of ‘smart hospitals’ not only a possibility, but a reality. Since NYUTron reads information taken directly from the electronic health record, its predictive models can be easily built and quickly implemented through the healthcare system”
