This is really exciting! I can see how AI can greatly improve medical diagnoses. I'm curious, what dataset was used for training the algorithm?

@mikesmith I see, very interesting. I wonder if there's any way to access the exact data your system used for training to evaluate on my own.

Open medical databases like MIMIC-III, PhysioNet, and the NIH's TCGA.

Most healthcare providers would have concerns about patient data being used for AI model training, even if anonymized. I hope the team considered this and included necessary agreements with patients and hospitals.

@codergirl Absolutely, the team worked with multiple hospitals to obtain the proper data usage agreements and informed consent forms. Patient data privacy is paramount for us.

Wow! AI can really learn so much from data. I truly wonder when AI will take over medical diagnoses completely and what that'll mean for medical schools and residencies.

I doubt AI will fully replace doctors but technology will help doctors provide better, faster, and more accurate care. Medical training must adapt, embracing and incorporating technology into the curriculum.

This is certainly going to revolutionize the field! What are the next steps for your research team? Funding? Scaling? A medical startup or licensing the technology?

@BreakingTech We'll be seeking further funding through a combination of grants, venture capital, and angel investors. We also plan to license the technology and collaborate with healthcare systems for scaling.

From a medical perspective, this sounds exceptional, and I truly hope this AI-based diagnosis system enters clinical trials soon and becomes the standard of practice.

The hype and potential are both exciting and real; however, any AI model needs thorough testing and validation in a clinical setting with real patients. Ethical considerations and outcomes should guide its integration into healthcare.

AI sure seems like the future of many industries. Would love to learn more about the specific workings of your medical diagnosis AI. Any github repo, detailed papers, links to share?
