Every second counts when it comes to detecting and treating heart attacks. A new technology may be able to identify heart attacks faster and more accurately than traditional methods.
Every second counts when it comes to detecting and treating heart attacks. That's where a new technology from the University of Mississippi comes in to identify heart attacks faster and more accurately than traditional methods.
"Our target was not only to increase performance for classifying heart attacks. We are also focusing on the design. If we want to make this device a usable machine for any person, that means it has to be something lightweight and economic." The resulting technology is lightweight and energy efficient enough to be embedded in wearable devices while still being 92.4% accurate -- higher than many current methods.
All of that takes time that a patient might not have, the researchers said. If a wearable device such as a watch or a phone can cut down on diagnosis time, patients could get faster treatment. "We want to be able to predict or identify many problems using technology like this," he said."Whether that's heart attacks or seizures or dementia. The detection of a disease or condition depends on the disease itself, but we're working to find faster, more efficient ways of doing that.
