Could this algorithm be better at diagnosing arrhythmia than cardiologists?

July 26, 2017 By Danielle Kirsh

A new algorithm that can go through hours of heart data to detect arrhythmia performs better than trained cardiologists, according to new research from Stanford University. The algorithm gathers data from wearable monitors to find life-threatening irregular heartbeats and allows for data to be sorted through in remote areas where there is a scarcity of […]
