An intelligent clock can become a useful tool for early identification of a serious heart problem, even in people who do not have visible symptoms. A new study has shown that artificial intelligence can analyze electrical signals recorded by intelligent clocks and identify signs of a weakening heart function.
The investigation was presented November 9th at the American Heart Association’s scientific conference.
Researchers in South Korea have analyzed electrocardiogram records from Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch to 2,211 adults who were planned to undergo heart exam.
The design of artificial intelligence was able to distinguish people with reduced function of the left belly, a condition that can develop without symptoms and lead to heart failure.
However, the results were not entirely the same between the two devices. At about 9 percent of the participants, the hours gave different rankings.
In another group of patients, repetition of measurements helped reduce the negative positive results, but it also prevented some cases from being identified.
Scientists stress that technology can help select people who need further control, but cannot replace the pathocardography or the cardiologist’s assessment.
The results remain preliminary and require confirmation in larger studies.
The signal where the truth speaks before the news!
