‘Superhuman’ AI tool spots heart disease in less than 2 seconds
TL;DR
Technology trained on millions of routine ECGs could fast-track high-risk patients for treatment Doctors have developed a “superhuman” AI tool that can spot heart disease in less than two seconds. The groundbreaking technology has been trained on millions of patients and works by extracting more information from a routine electrocardiogram (ECG) than the human eye can typically see.

Nauti's Take
A two second read built on millions of routine scans is real progress, because that bottleneck in cardiology otherwise costs weeks and quietly blocks screening. The result is not dependable yet, though, as long as sensitivity, false alarm rates and performance across devices and patient groups are missing.
The sensible next step is a triage pilot with clinician review rather than an autonomous diagnostic process.
