  • Researchers have developed an AI model that estimates long-term disease risk across more than 1,000 medical conditions
  • The model, trained and tested on anonymised medical data from the UK and Denmark, can forecast health outcomes over a decade in advance
  • While not ready for direct clinical use, the AI model offers new ways to study disease and inform healthcare strategies
