Researchers use AI to track chemotherapy complications, help families fighting pediatric cancer

In Mexico, where cancer is the second leading cause of death for children, families travel a significant distance to specialty hospitals for chemotherapy treatment. After each round of chemotherapy, children are typically sent home to recover. But when a patient leaves the hospital after treatment, there is no system to follow up on their recovery or outcome. Meanwhile, families are left without guidance on when to seek medical attention for complications.
