AI and its growing role in arrhythmia

Malcom Finlay (Bart's Health Centre, London, UK) reviews the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnosing arrhythmias. Johnny, a 72-year-old film producer, is meeting clients when his watch gently vibrates notifying him of his irregular pulse. He pressed his finger to his strap, and with a swipe sends the single lead ECG to his cardiologist without pausing the meeting. The AI delivered backbone powering self-diagnostics and wearables is invisible but always present: AI is taking over the medical world. Or so it would seem.
