Samsung details upcoming cardiovascular condition detection via smartwatch
"Samsung has announced that it's working on bringing detection and monitoring of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD) to its smartwatches in a world first. This is a serious cardiovascular condition responsible for approximately 50% of all heart failure cases and is more fatal than some cancers. Thus, early detection is critical to lower the risk of death and reduce hospitalization."
"Samsung will be using AI algorithms developed in collaboration with Medical AI, a Korean medical device company specializing in AI-based ECG. The algorithms were developed based on Medical AI's in-house algorithm for the 12-lead ECG analysis, which is already deployed in over 100 major hospitals in Korea and used for over 120,000 patients monthly. The technology enables early screening for asymptomatic people and also aims to reduce the healthcare costs associated with heart failure by promoting early diagnosis and timely treatment."
Samsung is developing smartwatch detection and monitoring for Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD), a condition behind about half of heart failure cases and deadlier than some cancers. The system will use AI algorithms built with Medical AI, based on a 12-lead ECG analysis already deployed in over 100 Korean hospitals and used by over 120,000 patients monthly. The technology aims to enable early screening of asymptomatic people and lower healthcare costs via earlier diagnosis and treatment. Samsung also partnered with Hanyang University to prototype an around-the-ear EEG for out-of-lab brainwave monitoring, showing promise for drowsiness detection and neuromarketing; no release dates have been set.
