AI's wonder! This stethoscope will detect heart diseases in 15 seconds, and millions of lives will be saved

The use of AI in the medical field is increasing continuously, and patients will directly benefit from it. Now, diseases can be detected in a few seconds with the help of AI.

For some time now, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increased in the medical field and due to this, it has become easier to identify diseases. Now with the help of AI, heart diseases can be detected in a few seconds. Researchers at Imperial College London have now developed a stethoscope that can detect three diseases in just 15 seconds with the help of AI.

Old device, new technology

The stethoscope hanging around the neck of doctors started in 1816. Now millions of lives can be saved by using new technology like AI in it. Now AI-powered stethoscopes can detect heart failure, atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease in just 15 seconds. While a traditional stethoscope can listen to the sound of a patient's heartbeat or breathing, an AI-powered stethoscope can also notice the slightest changes in the heartbeat or blood flow. Along with this, it is also capable of doing ECG of the patient.

How does the device work?

The AI stethoscope is placed on the patient's chest for ECG. It records the electric signals emanating from the heart, while the microphone attached to it records the sound of blood flowing towards the heart. After this, the AI algorithm analyzes this data. This algorithm can also note the changes that doctors are unable to detect. After the process, the entire data is sent to the smartphone app, which can detect the health of the patient's heart. The trial revealed that this device can predict which heart disease a person may suffer from in the next 12 months. On this basis, he can change his daily routine as well as start treatment for it.
