The study of 1,003 patients showed that AI could be used to identify high-risk patients who need more intensive cardiac monitoring. Next, the researchers plan to study the AI tool in a diverse clinical setting, according to the Sept. 28 Mayo Clinic news release provided to Becker’s.
“The study shows that an AI algorithm can select a subgroup of older adults who might benefit more from intensive monitoring. If this new strategy is broadly implemented, it could reduce undiagnosed atrial fibrillation, and prevent stroke and death in millions of patients across the globe,” said Xiaoxi Yao, PhD, author of the study and researcher at Mayo’s Department of Cardiovascular Medicine.
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.
