Using AI To Predict Cardiac Risk In Liver Transplant Patients

AI has been doing an increasingly impressive array of things in healthcare in recent years, but one of the more interesting applications has been around transplants.  For instance, one study from earlier this year used AI to help match up organ donors to ensure transplants were successfully accepted.  Likewise, a project from this year used AI to do a similar job for bone marrow transplants.
