Artificial intelligence gives stethoscopes a much-needed upgrade Berkeley Engineering
Last month, the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved nearly half a dozen of their algorithms designed to detect heart murmurs and atrial fibrillation, irregular heartbeats that could lead to stroke or blood clots. And in December, the FDA granted a "breakthrough" device designation to an algorithm that analyzes data from the heart's electrical impulses for evidence of heart failure. Such a designation allows the agency to fast track significant innovations for approval.
