      A new “smart” stethoscope powered by artificial intelligence can detect tiny differences in heartbeat and blood flow which are undetectable to the human ear.

      Family doctors at 96 GP surgeries trialled the Eko Duo digital stethoscope, which listens to the heart and records an electrocardiogram (ECG) using an algorithm trained on a huge database of heart recordings to give a rapid diagnosis.

      Heart failure affects more than a million people in the UK. In more than 70 per cent of cases, it is only diagnosed after a serious incident like a heart attack or stroke, despite previous symptoms or contact with a GP

      See, this is the kind of application we should be using AI for. Actual betterment of humanity, not to write your emails for you.

      This is not AI

      This is literally just a program that pattern matches 

      Stop calling literally every little thing a computer can do AI

      is it also able to diagnose the type of heart failure, like atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter? and could you provide the journal resources?
