New AI Tool Detects Hidden Warning Signs of Disease

Putting AI to work for good.

McGill researchers have developed an AI tool that detects small, invisible biological changes, offering a new approach to detecting disease as early as possible.

Using medical imaging data, the model identifies subtle patterns that can suggest issues like heart disease, cancer, or neurodegeneration.

The technology is trained on thousands of patient scans, and can help clinicians predict the onset of illness and tailor preventive treatments. Researchers say it could transform routine screenings into proactive diagnostic tools.

“Our model can recognize warning signs that physicians might never see, potentially years before symptoms appear.”
