Scientists have uncovered structural heart problems by using an artificial intelligence tool to vet smartwatch data, in the latest advance in the fast-evolving field of cardiology diagnostics.
The new technique found conditions including weakened pumping ability, damaged valves and thickened muscle, promising to expand the potential of wearable devices beyond detecting rhythm disorders.
The work harnesses simple readouts of heart electrical activity, known as single-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), that can be recorded by smartwatches without the need for extra equipment. The preliminary study was unveiled at the American Heart Association’s annual scientific sessions in New Orleans.
