The health system conducted a clinical trial with more than 180 clinical care practices using Apple Watch smartwatches and ECG readings, according to a Sept. 8 YouTube video from the health system.
When the AI algorithm was applied to Apple Watch ECG recordings it was able to identify a weak heart pump in patients, allowing clinicians to get ahead of disease.
“AI is going to transform the way we practice medicine,” Paul Friedman, MD, chair of cardiovascular medicine at the Mayo Clinic, said in the video. “It essentially puts an expert in the pocket of every primary care clinician.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
