Medical professionals have been using artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline diagnoses for decades, using what are called diagnostic decision support systems (DDSSs). Computer scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) first developed MGH’s own DDSS called DXplain in 1984, which relies on thousands of disease profiles, clinical findings, and data points to generate and rank potential diagnoses for use by clinicians.
