AI estimates a person's risk of dying from heart disease in the next 30 days

Scientists in the US are using artificial intelligence (AI) to gauge a patient's risk of dying from heart disease. A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology created a system called RiskCardio. The technology was made for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which covers a range of conditions that suddenly reduce blood flow to the heart. RiskCardio works off just 15 minutes of a patient's'raw electrocardiogram (ECG) signal', which records the heart's rhythm and electrical activity. It then draws on a sample of ECG data to sort that particular patient into a'risk category'.
