Rare and genetic diseases collectively affect millions worldwide but are notoriously difficult to diagnose. Early and accurate identification is crucial to better outcomes but traditional methods often involve lengthy, costly diagnostic processes. This blog explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming early detection. (Expand more on prevalence of rare diseases globally, diagnostic challenges, and the impact of delayed diagnosis.) Understanding Rare and Genetic Diseases • Explain what rare diseases are, their genetic basis (~80%), complexity of symptoms, and the lack of specialists. • Discuss the consequences of misdiagnosis and diagnostic delays on patients' physical health, mental well-being, and financial strain. (Include statistics, patient anecdotes, and challenges with current healthcare infrastructure.) ➢ Machine Learning and Deep Learning Explain how AI algorithms learn from data to identify patterns. Introduce types of algorithms relevant in diag...
