Artificial intelligence (AI) can make detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) faster, easier, and less costly Artificial intelligence reduces the routine work burden on physicians. In cardiology, the startup Cardiomatics analyzes data from Holter ECGs and provides physicians with analyses based on algorithms derived from scientific evidence. AF is one of the contexts for this automated […]
Introduction The outbreak of the novel coronavirus epidemic changed how healthcare systems around the globe act. Until today, we took for granted the ability to do multiple laboratory tests, such as long-term ECG monitoring or echocardiography. Now access to these facilities has been radically restricted as they are now being used for another purpose – […]
The impact of the coronavirus on medicine Nowadays, access to Healthcare Services is difficult due to the expansion of the Coronavirus. The majority of doctors from public hospitals are busy dealing with infected people. Some of these facilities no longer take patients because of staff shortages. But there are many diseases that cannot wait until […]
Transformation in Medicine For Cardiomatics CEO Rafał Samborski, healthcare is going through a major transformation: “We live in times of a paradigm change. The trend leads away from examinations on-premise, heading towards decision and process support based on cloud systems. This is happening in medicine just as it is reshaping finance and logistics. – We […]
There has been a lot of hype and hope around algorithms recently. But what can they do and what can they not do? How do they function? Can they feel like humans? Kasia Barczewska, Head of Research and Development at Cardiomatics, takes us on an eye-opening journey through Artificial Intelligence, algorithms and machine learning. How […]
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about how medicine, patients and doctors can profit from Artificial Intelligence. In fact, AI is already supporting clinicians and citizens. Certified algorithms compliant with cardiological guidelines have gained the trust of doctors, supporting their daily work. One of these algorithms helps in ECG analysis. The following interview […]
Heart function can be assessed using many parameters. One constantly gaining attention, mainly among people looking to track, understand and optimize their recovery and readiness, is heart rate variability (HRV). So, what is HRV all about and how can it help to improve your performance? The usefulness of HRV has been evaluated across multiple studies, […]
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most prevalent arrhythmias in European society and its occurrence is increasing among the elderly. Epidemiological studies show that its presence will only grow over time. Many resources have been engaged to improve detection and treatment and to optimize quality of life for affected patients, but it still […]
Cardiomatics has been live for 8 months now. And the question we are very often asked is “How good is your automatic interpretation comparing to that of a physician/the competition?” I spent a couple of years in academia so I feel entitled to answer, “It depends.” Let me elaborate; I am pretty sure that some […]
