In this article, researchers tackle a big challenge in medical science: measuring how severe impairments and diseases are without relying on time-consuming assessments. They came up with a clever idea using AI models trained only on healthy people. Imagine these AI models as expert judges who know what a healthy body looks like. They noticed that when they showed these experts a person with a problem, the experts weren’t so sure anymore.
