Artificial intelligence to save the day? How clever computers are helping us understand Huntington’s disease.

Artificial intelligence to save the day? How clever computers are helping us understand Huntington’s disease.

Scientists at IBM and the CHDI Foundation have used artificial intelligence to analyse datasets from Huntington’s disease observational trials to model progression of the disease. They hope their findings will help improve clinical trial design.
