Dr. Mohammed Uddin, Assistant Professor of Human Genetics, recently published a research paper titled “Artificial intelligence for precision medicine in neurodevelopmental disorders” in NPJ Digital Medicine in collaboration with The Centre for Applied Genomics, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada, the Institute of Neuroscience, Newcastle University, Newcastle, UK, and the School of Computing, Newcastle University, UK.

The paper looks at the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on healthcare and the need to utilize AI for diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and clinical outcomes of the group of disorders of brain development termed ‘neurodevelopmental disorders’ (NDD).

This will offer clinicians the opportunity to more carefully tailor interventions—whether disease modifying or preventative in nature—to individual patients, and will certainly have long term gains, both in terms of financial savings resulting from precision medicine, but also the ultimate improvement in the health of the population.
