My doctoral research in the early 1990s hypothesized that we could use chaotic, nonlinear dynamic models of speech and respiratory behavior to predict the rate of decline in patients with chronic respiratory diseases - @Google is making it happen.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-18/google-is-training-machines-to-predict-when-a-patient-will-die …
Physicians have been modeling rate of decline for a VERY long time. The ability to identify conditions earlier and intervene earlier extends life and improves health and quality of life. Re-frame the message: treat sooner, live longer.

I re-read the piece. I don't u/st how these algos would "save lives and money" if she was going to die anyway. Money, maybe, as software would not be incentivised - as are doctors & hospitals - to 'treat' dying patients
