New AI tech developed to detect heart failure earlier.

Medicine is certainly one of the areas that benefits most from the implementation of artificial intelligence, as this technology has proven itself time and again as a valuable resource in the battle against threats to human health. Being able to act early and, more importantly, quickly could change the fate of a patient's life - AI can therefore support experts in the daily challenges they face.

Researchers at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom have built and “trained” an algorithm called Find-HF. The goal of the tool is to detect early symptoms of disease using the medical records of patients under observation, so as to predict potential future complications.

Having the ability to understand and assume a patient's future health puts physicians and experts at a significant advantage, Currently, unfortunately, many people are diagnosed with heart failure when it is too late: disease-modifying treatments could potentially be less effective, especially for women and the elderly. This technology, used in the right way, can change the fate of future patients.
