A man used a personal AI health tool built from his medical records to identify possible deep vein thrombosis after five days of calf pain. The tool recommended an ultrasound, leading him to seek emergency care where four clots were found.
indiatoday.intoday.inA personal AI health tool identified symptoms consistent with deep vein thrombosis after five days of worsening calf pain and swelling. The man had initially consulted a chiropractor for what he believed was a muscle spasm. When pain continued, he entered his medical records into an AI system he developed for personal use.
