Groundbreaking ECG analysis predicts risk of death with 85% accuracy

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making inroads in the healthcare industry in various ways. From improving medical diagnoses to finding new cures for diseases, AI is revolutionizing the way healthcare professionals approach their work. One exciting example of AI in healthcare is its application to electrocardiograms (ECGs), which are used to monitor and diagnose heart health. Researchers in northern Alberta, Canada, are utilizing AI to glean more information from ECGs and improve patient care and the healthcare system as a whole. ECGs are a standard test in hospitals, used to check the rhythm and electrical activity of the heart.
