The young Russian doctor Sergei Arutyunyan was working with patients whose immune systems were rejecting transplanted kidneys.
The doctor has to decide whether to keep or remove it. If they kept the kidney, the patient could die, but if they remove it, the patient would need another long wait (or never) for another kidney.
The mathematician Edward Frankel helped him to analyze the collected data with ‘expert rules’ in a decision tree. (Note: this is like the Artificial Intelligence Rule-based Expert System, except no fuzzy math).
