The UK is once again surprising the medical world by testing a unique piece of software, already dubbed the “death calculator.” Using ECG data with 78% accuracy, this tool predicts what heart disease you might die from and even provides an estimate of when.
But this is no mere AI gimmick. The software can detect hidden heart risks that even doctors might miss. The research behind it has been published in The Lancet, one of the most respected medical journals in the world.
The technology is being tested in two London hospitals, and its potential is even more impressive: the program works with data collected from Apple Watch or other fitness trackers. This opens the door to early diagnosis for millions of people, as data can be gathered anywhere, anytime.
Such technology promises a revolution in cardiology. Early detection of hidden problems and risk prediction will empower patients to take proactive measures, preserving health and extending life.
