IIT Madras and CMC Vellore Develop AI Tools for Early Kidney Disease Detection
Researchers from IIT Madras and CMC Vellore have developed three AI-based tools to aid early detection and assessment of kidney diseases, which often remain asymptomatic until advanced stages. These include a machine learning model predicting chronic kidney disease risk using clinical data, a deep learning system classifying kidney abnormalities from over 12,000 CT images, and a 3D imaging platform creating patient-specific kidney models. The team aims to improve early diagnosis, personalize treatment, and reduce costly interventions like dialysis, though clinical use may take several years.
