The artificial intelligence (AI) system, developed at University College London and set to be piloted in NHS hospitals later this year, will screen at risk patients so doctors can take early action to prevent death or serious illness. Prof Young, a consultant surgeon at Southend University Hospital, said: I am so excited about this form of technology. Instead of people getting sick or dying because they are not picked up in time, this will allow us to step in earlier which will save lives and an enormous amount of money. I think the potential of AI in healthcare like this is as big as the Industrial Revolution was—and signals a pletely new example in the way we manage healthcare. The technology is the brainchild of Dr Vishal Nangalia, a consultant at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He used AI to analyse a billion stored blood samples from 20 different UK hospital trusts dating back up to 12 years. Computers assess blood test results by picking up subtle changes in red and white blood cells, suggesting a patient is going downhill. He found the technique forecast outes of patients with kidney problems with up to 95 per cent accuracy. Traditional methods highlighting serious patient concerns picked up as few as 16 percent of patients who went on to die. This gives us the opportunity not only to save lives but to prevent serious illness, making the health service not only safer but more efficient. Prof Young said, Instead of waiting for people to get worse, we will be able to treat them earlier.(1)What does the underlined phrase screen in Paragraph2 mean?

These items could include weapons, chemicals, laptops and batteries for bombs, the research team said on Tuesday. Research suggested that WiFi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water, acid, alcohol and other chemicals for explosive material. The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB) in the School. of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas(天線)that could be fitted in existing WiFi networks. The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through and bounce off objects or materials. The approach, which the paper states, works by separating the wireless interference(干擾)caused by two factors of objectsthe material and shape. Most dangerous objects such as weapons are usually metal or liquid, which have significant interference, researchers said. When it was tested on a backpack, the accuracy rate topped 95 percent. But the accuracy dropped to about 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped. And the tech could save lives if used in museums, stadiums, theme parks or schools, the team said, noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy. It uses channel state information (CSI) that is readily available in lowcost WiFi devices. This could have a great impact on protecting the public from dangerous objects, said Yingying Chen, a coauthor of the study, There39。s a growing need for that now. In large public areas, it39。s hard to set up expensive screening equipment like what39。s in airports. Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower.” The peerreviewed study, which recently wo
