CSIRO scientists have led a study to develop a machine learning tool that gives medical professionals early warning of a patient's deteriorating condition.

The study was done in collaboration with Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital and Metro South Hospital and Health Service and applied to a test cohort of more than 18,000 patient records.
