For #transformationtuesdays I’m sharing how AI is Transforming the way you can determine if you will encounter any health issues in the near future – specifically Heart Attacks.
Read on to see how they made it work.
What they did was to take a lot of ECG scans, where the researchers already knew the outcome for each i.e. which ones ended up getting a heart attack and by when, and which ones did not get a heart attack.
The researchers then fed the data into a Machine Learning algorithm for it to train on that data.
The results are astounding, as the AI was then able to predict upcoming heart attacks and other heart-related diseases better than real-life Cardiologists e.g. those who said the ECG scans were clear, but the patients still ended up getting heart attacks.

Ending note
I hope you learned something new today.
If you want to learn how to do this, and you think a career in Artificial Intelligence is for you, even if you’re just a beginner, I would recommend you check out the IBM Applied AI Professional course, which you can check further for details.
