Researchers at Wake Forest University developed an AI tool that detects multiple types of heart dysfunction from standard ECG data, including from a single lead similar to wearable devices, potentially enabling earlier and more accessible heart failure screening.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Healthtech Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can use simple ECG data, including from wearables, to find heart problems missed in routine care using AI. If you build health screening tools, this opens a path to earlier detection without costly imaging.
