A rare disease is any disease that occurs in a maximum of 5 out of 10,000 people. To date, between 6,000 and 7,000 rare diseases have been described. According to the European Commission, 6% to 8% of the population has a rare disease.
There is no registered therapy for more than 95% of rare diseases.
Of the nearly 200,000 ongoing clinical studies, less than 1% are dedicated to rare diseases.
Because of all the above, I am glad that there is artificial intelligence that will, by all accounts, cure many diseases.
Artificial intelligence is advancing every day, and now we can see progress in the field of medical drugs. Namely, artificial intelligence has created a drug that will be used to treat patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
AI has designed the first drug in medicine to be used for humans. As things stand for now, it will be used for research and testing on humans, primarily to continue machine learning for medical purposes.
Speed in development
While in the traditional pharmaceutical industry it takes at least about 5 years for a drug to be developed, tested, tested and become available, in the case of artificial intelligence in medicine this is not the case. Namely, it took AI only 12 months to be ready for use.
Speed in development is great news for finding new drugs.
Experts say that algorithms go through a billion decisions in order to find the right molecules, and in order to find a new drug with extreme precision. The biggest advantage of these algorithms is that they are completely applicable to any other disease.
First in Japan
This drug will first be found in the test phase in Japan, and if it passes successfully, testing will continue globally. What makes the general public happy is that they are already working on the development of potential drugs for the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and they hope that these drugs will reach the testing phase by the end of the year.
According to experts, artificial intelligence in medicine will make a huge step forward by the end of this decade, and with its help all drugs will be produced, which means that this method extremely quickly and accurately detects drugs that will help patients with various diseases.
This news gives us great hope that soon a large number of diseases will be cured, for which there is currently no cure.
