AI Heart Function Prediction: Narayana Health Innovation
Imagine a smart tool doctors can use to check your heart!
Narayana Health created an AI that looks at a common heart test, the ECG, and can quickly tell if your heart is working well.
This helps doctors find heart problems early, especially in places where special heart tests aren't always available.
The AI was taught by looking at lots of heart tests, and it's very good at finding people with weak hearts.
This means doctors can help people sooner.
Narayana Health and Medha AI developed an AI model to predict heart function.
The AI model predicts left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) from ECG images.
It aims to support early heart failure identification and improve diagnostic access.
The model was trained on 100,000+ ECG images with echocardiogram reports.
External validation identified 97% of individuals with severely reduced EF.
