Time was slipping away, and traditional methods weren’t fast enough. But Dr. Stephen Kingsmore and his team turned to a revolutionary tool—AI. Here’s how it played out: A blood sample was taken, and using advanced AI technology, the boy’s genome was fully sequenced and interpreted in a record-breaking 19.5 hours—a feat that earned them a Guinness World Record. The true power of AI shined when it processed the boy’s medical history in 20 seconds, identifying 88 key features from his electronic records. This data helped pinpoint a rare mutation in the ALDH7A1 gene. What once might have taken weeks, or even months, was done in mere hours. The diagnosis? A condition treatable with Vitamin B6 and dietary changes. Thanks to AI, the treatment could begin almost immediately, changing the boy’s life forever. (Source: Deep Medicine)
