Researchers at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust believe their work, published in The Lancet Digital Health, could be used in the NHS within five years. It would enable doctors to find disease earlier and prioritize the most urgent cases for treatment. The paper is titled “Artificial intelligence-enabled electrocardiogram for mortality and cardiovascular risk estimation: An actionable, explainable and biologically plausible platform.”
An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart and is one of the most common medical tests in the world.
The team used very large sets of data from...
