'Game-changing' AI stethoscopes could detect heart conditions in seconds

AI-powered stethoscopes can detect heart failure, valve disease, and abnormal rhythms in seconds, significantly improving early diagnosis. In a London pilot across 200 GP surgeries, heart failure was 2.3×, abnormal rhythms 3.5×, and valve disease 1.9× more detectable than with traditional stethoscopes. Using ECG and heart sounds analyzed by AI, the device helps GPs identify issues sooner, potentially reducing late-stage emergencies and improving patient outcomes.
