How it works
The model analyzes subtle deviations in the ECG signal waveform that are invisible to the human eye, identifying patterns statistically associated with future cardiovascular events.
In a study involving a sample of 400,000 patients, the algorithm predicted heart attack and stroke with 91% accuracy up to 10 years in advance.
Why it matters
Early diagnosis allows prevention to begin long before a critical stage — changing lifestyle habits, and managing blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
