NDTV • • health
Key Points:
- Edward Patrick from the UK used artificial intelligence (AI) to help diagnose his mother Ann Patrick's unexplained near-fatal seizures after doctors were unable to identify the cause through multiple tests.
- The AI suggested that a common vitamin B6 deficiency, linked to her Parkinson's medication, was causing the seizures, which was later confirmed by her medical team.
- After adjusting her treatment to include vitamin B6 infusion, Ann's seizures stopped, leading to a significant improvement in her health.
- Ann was suffering from rhabdomyolysis, a life-threatening condition caused by muscle breakdown due to seizures, which can lead to kidney damage if untreated.
- Edward described the experience as life-saving and likened it to a medical drama, expressing surprise and relief at the successful diagnosis and treatment.
