AI-Enabled ECG Analysis Predicts Heart Attack Risk Nearly as well as CT Scans
Increased coronary artery calcium is a marker of coronary artery disease that can lead to a heart attack. Now, a coronary artery calcium study has shown for the first time that an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can read ultrasound images of the heart to accurately identify whether a patient has a large amount of buildup in their coronary arteries.

New Tool Uses Ultrasound ‘Tornado’ to Break Down Blood Clots in the Brain
Researchers have developed a new tool and technique that uses “vortex ultrasound” – a sort of ultrasonic tornado – to break down blood clots in the brain more quickly and with reduced risks as compared to existing techniques. More...24 Jan 2023
FDA Cleared Sepsis Test Becomes First in New Class of ED-Focused Diagnostic Tools
Cytovale’s (San Francisco, CA, USA) IntelliSep sepsis test is the first FDA-cleared diagnostic tool to assess cellular host response to aid in identifying ED patients with sepsis and contribute to rapid life-saving decisions. The groundbreaking diagnostic tool provides test results in less than 10 minutes, helping clinicians to recognize sepsis and supporting critical time-sensitive clinical decisions. More...23 Jan 2023
AI Helps Hospitals Priorities Patients for Urgent Intensive Care and Ventilator Support
Researchers have developed a ‘digital twin’ that can help hospitals to prioritize patients for urgent intensive care and ventilator support. The new innovative system could potentially allow patients to be seen more quickly and receive the most effective treatment based on data from previous pneumonia sufferers. More...23 Jan 2023
