An artificial intelligence model that analyzes about 20 seconds of a person reading aloud identified most people with type 2 diabetes in a large UK study. It also raised a false alarm for nearly half of the people whose blood tests showed they did not have the disease. The findings are being presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Milan, Italy, which runs through Oct. 2.
The results are early. They come from a conference presentation, not a peer-reviewed journal article, and nothing in the researchers' announcement indicates the tool has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is not available as a clinical test in the United States.
