London – An Oxford University spinout company Caristo Diagnostics has developed an Artificial Intelligence model that can identify individuals at risk of a heart attack within the next decade, per BBC. Scientists have dubbed this model revolutionary, as it identifies cardiac inflammation that cannot be distinguished on a computed tomography or CT scan, a combination of X-ray and computer technology. A pilot programme is currently being implemented in five hospitals in Oxford, Milton Keynes, Leicester, Liverpool, and Wolverhampton hospital trusts with the support of NHS England. It has been presented, and a decision regarding its applicability to the NHS is pending in the forthcoming months.
