Artificial Intelligence Can Now Gauge Your Risk of Cardiovascular Death


Artificial Intelligence Can Now Gauge Your Risk of Cardiovascular Death

The benefits of AI in the health care spectrum are truly life-changing… and quite literally saving lives. 
Finally, some non-scary artificial intelligence (AI) news that won’t scare the living bejeezus out of you: artificial intelligence has proven to be a key feather in the transformative cap of health care
We are benefitted by AI when it can trumpet the need for preventative interventions by predicting such health threats as catching type 1 diabetes and helping predict breast cancer, along with its role in automated operations and precision surgery.
Yes, the benefits of AI in the health care spectrum are truly life-changing… and quite literally saving lives.
Another big AI game changer? Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are using machine learning to estimate the risk of cardiovascular death. The system, RiskCardio, focuses on patients who have survived an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and can better predict the risk of death caused by cardiovascular issues that block or reduce blood flow.
“Using just the first 15 minutes of a patient’s raw electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, the tool produces a score that places patients into different risk categories,” CSAIL explained.
RiskCardio’s technology uses just the patient’s raw ECG signal to determine cardiovascular risk—without requiring any additional external patient information such as age or weight. Based on the sets of consecutive beats in the sample, RiskCardio can determine whether a patient will die within 30 days or up to a year.
So why is this a good thing?
If a patient with ASC checks into a hospital, a doctor can use RiskCardio’s AI technology to determine the appropriate level of treatment.
“Machine learning is particularly good at identifying patterns, which is deeply relevant to assessing patient risk,” stated Divya Shanmugam, the lead author on the research paper about RiskCardio.
The advantage AI offers over traditional analytics and clinical decision-making techniques is unprecedented insight for physicians to gain regarding diagnostics, care processes, treatment variability and outcomes for patients.
The bottom line is that AI is being developed to prevent death and take precautions. And people have taken note; according to Forbes, the total investment in health care is expected to reach $6.6 billion by 2021. Not to mention, AI advances could potentially created $150 billion in annual savings for the United States health care economy by 2026.

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car

BMW traps alleged thief by remotely locking him in car Stealer's Wheel? Seattle police department quotes "Watchmen" movie in a recap of the recent arrest. Tech Culture by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper December 4, 2016 5:00 PM PST It's maybe the most satisfying arrest we can imagine. Seattle police caught an alleged car thief by enlisting the help of car maker BMW to both track and then remotely lock the luckless criminal in the very car he was trying to steal. Jonah Spangenthal-Lee, deputy director of communications for the Seattle Police Department, posted a witty summary of the event on the SPD's blog on Wednesday. Turns out if you're inside a stolen car, it's perhaps not the best time to take a nap. "A car thief awoke from a sound slumber Sunday morning (Nov. 27) to find he had been remotely locked inside a stolen BMW, just as Seattle police officers were bearing down on him," Spangenthal-Lee wrote. The suspect found a ke...

Report: World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China

World’s 1st remote brain surgery via 5G network performed in China Published time: 17 Mar, 2019 13:12 ·           A Chinese surgeon has performed the world’s first remote brain surgery using 5G technology, with the patient 3,000km away from the operating doctor. Dr. Ling Zhipei remotely implanted a neurostimulator into his patient’s brain on Saturday, Chinese state-run media  reports . The surgeon manipulated the instruments in the Beijing-based PLAGH hospital from a clinic subsidiary on the southern Hainan island, located 3,000km away. The surgery is said to have lasted three hours and ended successfully. The patient, suffering from Parkinson’s disease, is said to be feeling well after the pioneering operation. The doctor used a computer connected to the next-generation 5G network developed by Chinese tech giant Huawei. The new device enabled a near real-time connection, according to Dr. Ling.  “You barely feel that th...

New ATM's: withdraw money with veins in your finger

New cash machines: withdraw money with veins in your finger Cash machine technology that reads the pattern of finger veins is already available in Japan and Poland   By Telegraph Reporters 6:59PM BST 15 May 2014 Cash machines could soon be installed with devices that identify customers by reading the veins in their fingers. The technology is already being rolled out in Poland, where 1,730 cash machines will this year be installed with readers, negating the need for a debit card and Pin. Developed by Hitachi, the Japanese electronics firm, the machines read the patterns of the veins just below the surface of the skin on your finger using infra-red sensors. The light is partially absorbed by haemoglobin in the veins to capture a unique finger vein pattern profile, which is matched to a profile. The technology is used by Japanese banks and also in Turkey, offering “groundbreaking levels of accuracy and speed of authentication”, Hitachi said, which in t...
