‘Superhuman’ AI tool spots heart disease in less than 2 seconds
-
But it cannot detect heart disease. That requires an echocardiogram, a type of ultrasound scan, which patients often have to wait months for.
Now a team have developed an AI tool that can spot signs of heart failure and heart valve disease – two of the most common forms of heart disease – from ECG results in “the blink of an eye”.
The tech cannot be used on its own to definitively diagnose or rule out heart failure or heart valve disease, but it gives a very strong indication someone may have them.
Someone judged as highly likely to have either could be sent rapidly for an echocardiogram, rather than wait months on the standard waiting lists. That could mean a quicker diagnosis which would enable them to start treatment earlier.
Maybe it's just pessimistic of me but I could also see this being used to make it harder to actually get the definitive test if the AI doesn't notice your heart problems on the first pass
They already do that, though.

It's accurate, though.
superhuman: being above the human
If you want to interpret it like that, every useful invention made by humans is superhuman.
Look at that superhuman wrench!

Technology trained on millions of routine ECGs could fast-track high-risk patients for treatment

Most experienced humans don't need longer than that as well.
My point is it's not relevant how fast it is but how accurate.

I think it's fair. An excavator gives us superhuman strength, a train gives us superhuman speed and this system gives us a superhuman ability to spot heart disease. And a wrench gives us superhuman bolt-tightening abilities lol.
Though calling it a "superhuman AI" implies it being better than humans in general, which is definitely not the case (just like with your wrench), so the headline is definitely not accurate and intuitive either.

Ai tool isn't a proof, so this cannot be used in definitive tests. The absence of something is not proof it isn't there, you just didn't found it. On the other side, it cannot proof you have an issue, it can just find signs of, so a real doctor have to look into it for proof. I do not think this can be used for insurance, even if the tool was quiet accurate in finding signs.

Superhuman AI sounds like an oxymoron
Sounds like Marvel to me.

Yeah, like insurance companies give a shit. They will deny millions of people access with this result. They will use the savings to then pay lawyers to smother anyone who tries to fight it.

I don't think this is legal to do so, at least here in Europe/Germany.
