AI-enabled Imaging of Retina Can Specify Heart Disease Risk
2022 20 Oct
A recent study demonstrated that AI-enabled imaging of the retina’s network of veins and arteries can accurately predict the risk of cardiovascular disease and death, without measuring blood pressure or needing blood tests. The findings are published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. The findings highlight the potential for a highly... Read more
Trial Shows Value of Early AI-guided Detection of Heart Disease in Routine Practice
2021 20 May
Heart disease continues to be a leading cause of illness and death globally. Fast diagnosis is key to early treatment and improved rates of survival. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a low-cost, rapid and simple test used by cardiologists and other clinicians, that is available even in the most resource-scarce settings.

Google is currently developing a wristband that would have the ability to carry out non-invasive blood tests. The company is working on technology that can combine disease-detecting nanoparticles which could enter a patient's blood stream via a swallowed pill, with a wrist-worn sensor. The concept is that the sensor would be able to identify changes... Read more
