A new study published in The Lancet Digital Health found that an AI model can predict patients’ risk of developing or worsening disease and their risk of early death using electrocardiograms.
Here are seven things to know about the study:
1. Researchers at Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust developed the AI model to help physicians identify disease earlier and prioritize urgent cases for treatment.
2. The research team used millions of ECGs, previously taken as part of routine care from international sources, to train the AI model. It accurately predicted which patients experienced new disease, whose conditions worsened and who subsequently died.
3. The model was trained to read and identify patterns within the electrical...
