Electronic Health Records May Be Key to Improving Patient Care, Study Finds
A recent study highlights how the use of electronic health records have resulted in better quality of care – which can direct the next steps of government programs to ensure hospitals use electronic health records in a way that promotes interoperability. More...21 Sep 2022

Wearable Health Tech Could Measure Gases Released From Skin to Monitor Metabolic Diseases
Most research on measuring human biomarkers, which are measures of a body’s health, rely on electrical signals to sense the chemicals excreted in sweat. Now, a new study suggests that a wearable sensor may be able to monitor the body’s health by detecting the gases released from a person’s skin. More...02 May 2022

AI Trained for Specific Vocal Biomarkers Could Accurately Predict Coronary Artery Disease
Earlier studies have examined the use of voice analysis for identifying voice markers associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure. Other research groups have explored the use of similar technology for a range of disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and COVID-19. Now, for the first time, researchers have used voice analysis to predict CAD outcomes in patients who were tracked prospectively after an initial screening. More...28 Mar 2022

AI-Based Method Predicts Atrial Fibrillation Risk Based on ECG Results
Investigators have developed and tested an artificial intelligence (AI)-based method for predicting an individual’s five-year risk of developing atrial fibrillation, or an irregular heartbeat, from electrocardiogram results. More...24 Nov 2021
