402 ‒ NMR blood analysis: how mortality risk and more can be assessed from a single blood sample

What was said

""you can actually feed NMR data to a machine learning algorithm AI and train it to produce accurate lipid panel and APOB information. So we published this four or five years ago that you can actually use the NMR spectrum to produce an extended lipid panel APOB plus lipids.""

Otvos claims the same NMR spectrum used for lipoprotein particle measures can be processed with machine learning to generate an “extended lipid panel” including ApoB without added analytic cost. He frames it as a way to deliver higher-value lipid risk information more efficiently than conventional chemistry assays.
