An international scientific team has presented a revolutionary new technology in the field of medicine. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Scientists have created an artificial intelligence model capable of detecting diseases that may develop in human health long in advance. Named Delphi-2M, this system analyzes over a thousand types of diseases and can sometimes identify problems ten years ahead. The model works by integrating doctors' notes, hospital-collected data, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, and physical activity. Experts emphasize that Delphi-2M indicates health risks based on probabilistic conclusions, similar to a weather forecast. Initially trained on the UK Biobank data from the United Kingdom, the system was later tested with data from over 1.9 million citizens in Denmark's national healthcare system. Research results showed that Delphi-2M predicts dangerous diseases such as heart attacks, diabetes, and sepsis with high accuracy. However, its capabilities in detecting random infections are currently limited. According to scientists, this technology could fundamentally transform medical practice in the future. Doctors can use artificial intelligence to provide patients with personalized advice, recommend lifestyle changes to reduce risks, or take preventive treatment measures when necessary. It will also bring significant benefits to the entire healthcare system by enabling early detection of disease spread and allowing hospitals to plan workloads effectively. The project was carried out in collaboration with scientists from Germany's Cancer Research Center, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, and the University of Copenhagen. The research results were published in the prestigious journal Nature. Experts plan to further improve the model by incorporating genetic data, blood tests, and medical imaging databases. Additionally, they aim to work with large clinical datasets covering various age groups.

A new breakthrough has been achieved in the field of medicine. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Scientists have created an artificial intelligence model capable of predicting diseases that may develop in the human body in the future. Named Delphi-2M, this program can calculate the risk of over a thousand diseases based on medical data. Experts emphasize that this model has the ability to detect potential health problems up to ten years in advance. Delphi-2M was trained on anonymous medical records. It analyzes hospital records, doctor notes, and patients’ daily habits. For example, information such as smoking habits or lifestyle plays an important role in its calculations. The program works like a weather forecast: just as it predicts when it might rain, it also forecasts the likelihood of certain diseases occurring. Initially, it was trained on data from over 400,000 participants in the UK Biobank project, and later tested using medical records of 1.9 million people in Denmark. The results showed that the predictions made by the program were accurate in practice. Delphi-2M demonstrated particularly high performance in predicting dangerous diseases such as diabetes, heart attacks, and sepsis. However, its capabilities are limited when it comes to predicting random infections. According to experts, such artificial intelligence will provide great assistance to doctors in the future. If a patient is found to be predisposed to a disease, the doctor can recommend lifestyle changes or medications in advance. For example, patients at high risk of liver disease are advised to avoid alcoholic beverages. At the same time, this technology holds strategic importance for the healthcare system by enabling the prediction of how many patients might be in a certain area and allowing hospitals to plan their capacity in advance. According to Professor Moritz Gerstung, head of the Artificial Intelligence Department at the German Cancer Research Center, Delphi-2M has ushered in a new era in understanding human health. In the future, such models will play a crucial role in creating personalized treatment plans for each patient. Currently, since the model has mainly been trained on data from people aged 40 to 70, its applicability to patients of different ages is limited. Therefore, scientists are working on further improving it by enriching it with blood tests, genetic information, and imaging data. The full results of the study were published in the journal Nature and were carried out in collaboration with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the German Cancer Research Center, and the University of Copenhagen.

New mandatory durability tests introduced by the European Union have revealed serious shortcomings in Apple’s latest flagship, the iPhone 17 model. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Although the device’s battery has been significantly improved, its resistance to drops and external impacts was found to be lower than that of competing brands. According to GSMArena, the special labeling system introduced in the European Union determines the durability and repairability level of each electronic device. Based on tests conducted under this system, the iPhone 17 Pro Max was classified as Class B. This means the device can withstand approximately 180 drop tests. Last year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max was classified as Class C, showing durability only after 90 drops. Although this figure has doubled in the new model, it still lags behind leading competitors. For example, recent flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL successfully passed 270 drop tests and were classified as the highest Class A. This indicates a higher risk of damage for Apple smartphones during daily use. Additionally, the iPhone Air Pro Max, which has a soft body, also recorded Class B results. In terms of repairability, the iPhone 17 also falls behind its competitors. The device was classified as Class S, the same as Samsung, while Google Pixel belongs to Class B and is considered better in terms of repairability. However, the iPhone 17 Pro Max battery has a high energy efficiency rating, classified as Class A, and its operating time has reached 53 hours. This figure is superior to many competitors. Nevertheless, Apple’s battery is designed for only 1000 charge cycles, whereas batteries in Samsung devices can last up to 2000 cycles. This effectively means twice the lifespan in practice.
