University of Utah Unveils AI Toolkit for Early Disease Prediction

April 29, 2025
Researchers at the University of Utah have introduced RiskPath, an AI toolkit designed to predict chronic diseases before symptoms appear, as announced in a press release.

Researchers at the University of Utah have introduced a new AI toolkit named RiskPath, designed to predict chronic diseases before symptoms appear, announced in a press release. Developed by the Department of Psychiatry and the Huntsman Mental Health Institute, RiskPath uses Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) to analyze health data and identify at-risk individuals with an accuracy of 85-99%.

RiskPath represents a significant advancement in disease prediction by utilizing advanced timeseries AI algorithms. These algorithms provide insights into how risk factors interact and change over time, allowing for more targeted preventive strategies. The toolkit has been validated across three major long-term patient cohorts, successfully predicting conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome.

The research team is exploring how RiskPath can be integrated into clinical decision support systems and preventive care programs. They aim to expand their research to include additional diseases and diverse populations, potentially transforming preventive healthcare delivery.
