Artificial intelligence has already proven that it can be useful for analyzing medical imaging. Now it's the turn of a new AI-based tool to demonstrate its ability to read doctors' assessments and accurately anticipate the risks of death, hospital readmission and other possible complications.

Created by a team at the Grossman School of Medicine in Langone, New York, the software is now being tested in several of the university's partner hospitals, with the goal of making it a common practice in the medical community in the future.
