Overview

• Researchers have developed a prototype AI-driven chip that detects heart attacks in real time with 92.4% accuracy, doubling the speed of traditional diagnostic methods.
• The chip is lightweight and energy-efficient, designed to integrate seamlessly into wearable devices like smartwatches or fitness trackers.
• Conventional heart attack diagnostics rely on facility-based tests, causing delays that the new wearable technology seeks to eliminate.
• The research team, led by Kasem Khalil, emphasizes a holistic approach, combining hardware and software for practical, portable solutions.
• Future applications of the chip include monitoring other conditions such as seizures and dementia, as researchers continue to refine the technology for broader healthcare use.
