AI Stethoscope Detects 3 Heart Conditions In 15 Seconds
The AI stethoscope swiftly identifies three major heart conditions within 15 seconds, showcasing cutting-edge digital health technology in primary care. The humble stethoscope, a vital diagnostic tool invented over 200 years ago, has been dramatically transformed by cutting-edge technology into an AI-enhanced smart stethoscope capable of detecting serious heart conditions within just 15 seconds. Developed collaboratively by Eko Health and researchers at Imperial College London, this breakthrough device is changing the landscape of cardiac diagnostics by integrating artificial intelligence with digital auscultation and electrocardiography (ECG) to rapidly identify heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and heart valve disease at the primary care level. What Is the AI Stethoscope? The AI stethoscope is a sleek, palm-sized device that combines a digital stethoscope chest piece with a single-lead ECG. It records high-fidelity heart sounds and electrical signals simultaneously, which are then...
