AI summary

A method for diagnosing diseases in human patients can include providing a set of global X-ray diffraction (XRD) data to a global data center (GDC) and processing the set of global XRD data and categorizing it into data clusters, where each data cluster corresponds to a diagnostic indicator for assessment of a physiological or pathological condition. The method can further include communicating local XRD data and local patient data from a local autonomous cell (LAC) to the GDC, where the local XRD data includes information about a tissue sample measured using a tissue diffractometer of the LAC, and wherein the tissue sample includes skin. The method can further include processing the local XRD data, comparing it with the data clusters to determine a local diagnostic indicator for the local patient, and communicating the local diagnostic indicator to the LAC.
