Using [artificial intelligence for physical abuse diagnoses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aibased-healthcare), doctors will be able to reveal symptoms of domestic abuse so that seemingly unrelated injuries like a broken bone and depression can be correlated to signify home violence.

Before a doctor even consults with a patient the system will alert them as to the likelihood of abuse in a particular case.
