The smart bracelet that tracks your blood pressure

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Mike Kisch, Aktiia CEO, told MailOnline that having constant blood pressure measurements in all settings was a'game changer' for doctors and patients That will be for doctors, allowing them to remotely gauge the progress of patients, even see what time of day medication should be taken. 'Right now, after they do the initial diagnosis and prescribe medication, they don't get a lot of data from the patient, so the likelihood that the first time it will work is low, so now they get ongoing data to see if they need to modify treatment. 'That is a game changer for the physician,' explains Mr Kisch. Data gathered by this device is fed into large scale cohort studies, with nine currently running or about to run around the world. One is about the way patient engagement in hypertension management programmes increase when using these products and how a doctors decision making process improves.


UK researchers use AI to predict heart attacks and stroke

#artificialintelligence

In a recent UK study, researchers have used AI for the first time to measure blood flow and predict chances of death, heart attack and stroke. For the study, which was funded by the British Heart Foundation, researchers took routine Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) scans from more than 1,000 patients at London's St Bartholomew's Hospital and the Royal Free Hospital and used new AI to analyze the images. The AI-assisted approach enabled the researchers to precisely and instantaneously quantify the blood flow to the heart muscle and deliver the measurements to the medical teams treating the patients. "Artificial intelligence is moving out of the computer labs and into the real world of healthcare, carrying out some tasks better than doctors could do alone," said Professor James Moon, of the London-based UCL Institute of Cardiovascular Science and Barts Health NHS Trust. "We have tried to measure blood flow manually before, but it is tedious and time-consuming, taking doctors away from where they are needed most, with their patients."


Machine learning screens patients for life-threatening genetic disease

Using large healthcare encounter datasets, a machine learning algorithm is able to identify patients with a common genetic disorder that carries a high risk for early heart attacks and strokes. While individuals with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) have 20 times the risk of developing cardiovascular disease than the general population, fewer than 10 percent of the 1.3 million Americans born with the genetic disease are diagnosed. "People born with familial hypercholesterolemia develop cardiovascular damage by puberty, often culminating in early heart attacks or the need for surgery as young or middle-aged adults," says Katherine Wilemon, founder and CEO of the FH Foundation, a non-profit research and advocacy organization. "Since diagnosis of this deadly but treatable condition has stalled in the American medical system, the FH Foundation harnessed artificial intelligence and big data to accelerate identification of those most likely to have FH." In a new study, a machine learning model created by the FH Foundation successfully leveraged healthcare encounter databases to identify individuals with the genetic disorder.


This Artificial Intelligence Can Predict Whether You Will Have a Heart Attack

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence is now being successfully used to scan medical data and predict whether patients will have strokes or heart attacks. In a recent study, the AI system was more accurate at predicting these possible occurrences than doctors. The AI system works by learning from past medical record data and finding common factors between patients that have had heart attacks with people that might have heart attacks. As you might be able to imagine, correctly predicting sudden events likes strokes is a rather hard task that often results in doctors making very educated guesses. According to Futurism, Correct calls were made in 355 more cases than by doctors alone, which is a significant margin when you weigh that each correct case could mean the difference between life or death.
