Objective:

To develop a digital stethoscope integrated with AI for early detection of heart disease.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • The algorithm achieved 95% accuracy in identifying healthy heart sounds and 85% accuracy for diseased sounds.
    • AI can detect subtle acoustic patterns in heart sounds that are undetectable by human ears.
    Interpretation:

    AI-powered tools could significantly enhance early cardiovascular disease screening, providing clinicians with additional diagnostic insights.

    Limitations:
    • The technology requires clinical validation before widespread implementation.
    • Current research is limited to laboratory settings and initial clinical trials.
    Conclusion:

    The collaboration aims to integrate AI analysis of heart sounds into routine health screenings, potentially transforming cardiovascular care.
