AI, death, and the FDA

I once worked at Richland Hospital with a person who could sense impending death.

His accuracy was quite uncanny and downright spooky at times and he worked up until he became ill, predicting his own death as well.

So there is an AI package which is purported to predict impending death with remarkable accuracy — so much that it has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and is expected to save lives from unexpected mortality in the US as a result.

The company with this tech, Excel Medical out of Florida has been touting it's new WAVE Clinical Platform which includes a deep-learning algorithm that can accurately predict whether a given patient might be at risk for sudden death.

It is comprised of a network of digital medical records with physiological metrics in real time all said to calculate the risk of a patient six hours before a human physician might.

It can even phone on call professonals at it's own initiation through a smartphone app.
