AI-Enhanced Stethoscope Detects Heart Conditions in Just Seconds
By Isha
Researchers at Imperial College London have developed an AI-powered stethoscope that can detect three major heart conditions—heart failure, valvular disease, and atrial fibrillation—in as little as 15 seconds. The innovative device records subtle sound and ECG data, transmitting it for cloud-based AI analysis with significantly higher detection rates than traditional methods.
