In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), early diagnosis is essential for both current and
potential treatments. To find a supportive approach for the diagnosis, we constructed an
artificial intelligence‐based prediction model of ALS using induced pluripotent stem cells
(iPSCs). Images of spinal motor neurons derived from healthy control subject and ALS
patient iPSCs were analyzed by a convolutional neural network, and the algorithm achieved
an area under the curve of 0.97 for classifying healthy control and ALS. This prediction …

Images of spinal motor neurons derived from healthy control subject and ALS patient iPSCs were analyzed by a convolutional neural network, and the algorithm achieved an area under the curve of 0.97 for classifying healthy control and ALS. This prediction model by deep learning algorithm with iPSC technology could support the diagnosis and may provide proactive treatment of ALS through future prospective research.
