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 […]
The Cardiologist And AI
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 […]
How Heart Rate Variability Can Be Used to Improve Your Life
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, […]
In Searching for Atrial Fibrillation, ECG Length Does Matter
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 […]
Give AI a Try
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 […]
