Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze patient urine samples and predict when symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will flare up.

The patients taking part in the study carried out a simple daily test on their urine and sent their results to researchers using their mobile phones.

Using AI to analyse the results, researchers were able to ‘forecast’ a deterioration in symptoms one week in advance. This could make it possible to take steps, such as altering treatment, to minimize or even prevent a flare up.
