Cardio vascular diseases are responsible for more deaths than all cancers combined, and the fight starts in Primary Care, where patients expect heart diseases to be first detected during patient screening.

The need for innovation in heart disease diagnostics in Primary Care

However, it is a little-known fact that the current State-of-the-Art medical device used in Primary Care, can only detect/diagnose about 44% of all common heart disease. This limitation makes ECG’s lack of overall effectiveness highly questionable as a first use diagnostic device for use in widespread patient screening for heart diseases in Primary Care.

A White Paper by Infoholic Research LLP

The term Artificial Intelligence conjures images of science fiction with advanced technologies used by governments and large corporations. The images are true to an extent in that it’s the large corporations which were the early adopters of the technology. However, the technology has been in use and is being utilized by various industries such as retail, and healthcare among others. For instance, whenever an online retailer suggests complementary products to your purchase, its AI at work. Within the medical industry AI has been making rapid inroads into various sectors. From predicting diseases to clinical outcomes and reading radiology examinations, AI is slowly but surely pervading medicine.

Patients with venereal diseases, mental disorders, or some skin problems are often afraid to visit a doctor. How can we help people with stigmatized, embarrassing diseases?

Last week I watched “Embarrassing bodies” online. In this popular 2007 documentary-style series, Dr Christian Jessen and Dr Dawn Harper help patients with neglected health problems. Of course it’s only a TV show, but it draws attention to the fact that embarrassing illnesses can leave many people feeling isolated. For these patients we need personalized diagnosis alternatives.
