How AI-based eye scans can detect high blood sugar, heart disease

How AI-based eye scans can detect high blood sugar, heart disease

Gurugram: The integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) is providing a new lens for viewing retinal health, transforming the field of ophthalmology from a reactive one to proactive and predictive. Retinal images offer a non-invasive view of blood vessels and nerve fibres. They are not just a window into the eye, but also … Read more

AI stethoscope could detect heart conditions in seconds

AI stethoscope could detect heart conditions in seconds

Stethoscopes powered by artificial intelligence (AI) could help detect three different heart conditions in seconds, researchers say. The original stethoscope, invented in 1816, allows doctors to listen to the internal sounds of a patient’s body. But now a British team have designed one that can spot heart failure, heart valve disease and abnormal heart rhythms … Read more

AI-powered cardiology assistant is helping doctors detect heart risk before it’s too late – ET HealthWorld

AI-powered cardiology assistant is helping doctors detect heart risk before it’s too late – ET HealthWorld

When Naman Gosalia’s father suffered a sudden heart attack without any prior symptoms or abnormal reports, it was a moment that shattered assumptions. Fit, active, and medically “normal” — he didn’t fit the profile of someone at risk. But that single emergency became the beginning of something much larger: AnginaX, an AI-powered cardiology assistant that … Read more
