Missouri hospital partners with professor to study AI kidney matching

Casey Canfield, PhD, a professor at Rolla-based Missouri University of Science and Technology, is partnering with SSM Health St. Louis University Hospital to study how artificial intelligence could help match kidney donors with recipients, St. Louis NPR reported Dec. 27.

The study looks into how artificial intelligence could be used to give clinicians more options and recommendations to expedite the organ donor process for patients in the middle of the list.

The National Science Foundation contributed $2 million in funding for the study, which is expected to take place over four years.
