Google says its AI is better at predicting death than hospitals
Nature article presents an AI developed by Googleâs Medical Brain team which outperforms hospitalsâ own warning system in predicting the death risk among hospitâŠal patients.
Googleâs Medical Brain team is now training its AI to predict the death risk among hospital patients â and its early results show it has slightly higher accuracy than a hospitalâs own warning system.
Bloomberg describes the healthcare potential of the Medical Brainâs findings, including its ability to use previously unusable information in order to reach its predictions. The AI, once fed this data, made predictions about the likelihood of death, discharge, and readmission.
In a paper published in Nature in May, from Googleâs team, it says of its predictive algorithm:
A Neuroscientist Explains What Happens to Your Brain When You Donât Sleep
Sleep deprivation affects nearly all parts of your brain, but it is most detrimental to simple cognitive functions that we take for granted, such as memory and staying alert.
Ph.D. neuroscience candidate Shannon Odell says scientific research suggests that sleep deprivation majorly reduces cognitive performance. Studies have shown that patients have significantly reduced their thinking ability after just one night of sleep deprivation, specifically in the hippocampus, also known as the memory center.

The Shift From 4G to 5G Will Change Just About Everything
Telecom experts are going so far as to herald the arrival of 5G as the advent of the fourth industrial revolution. There are an ever-expanding number of high-tech devices out there trying to connect to the internet every day, many of which require extensive bandwidth, and companies across the board will leverage 5G capabilities to better reach consumers.
âThe application of 5G technology will result in massive changes for both consumers and enterprises,â said Jeff Weisbein, founder and CEO of digital media company Best Techie. â5G networks will offer consumers incredible broadband speeds at home (up to 20Gb/s). It will also enable companies to make advancements such as even smarter, better connected cars, advancements in medical technologies and improved retail experiences through personalization.â
5G refers to 5th-Generation Wireless Systems and uses additional spectrum in the existing LTE frequency range to build on the capabilities of 4G, which is often used interchangeably with 4G LTE by marketers. LTE denotes Long Term Evolution, and is a term that was deployed with early 4G networks that presented a substantial improvement on 3G, but did not fully qualify as 4G, meaning 4G LTE is essentially first-generation 4G.
