Summary
This study introduces a mobile system using Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve cardiovascular disease management. The system accurately detects 20 heart conditions, aiding patients and reducing clinician workload.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Cardiology
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- Rising global cardiovascular disease (CVD) rates increase clinician workload.
- A decline in cardiovascular specialists exacerbates healthcare challenges.
- Need for efficient patient management and early disease detection.
Purpose of the Study:
- To design a mobile, automated system for enhanced cardiovascular health management.
- To reduce the workload of healthcare professionals in cardiology.
- To leverage Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for CVD detection.
Main Methods:
- Developed a compact hardware device for high-quality Electrocardiogram (ECG) data acquisition.
- Created a cloud-based deep learning service for automatic cardiovascular disease diagnosis.
- Integrated the system into a WeChat Mini Program for user accessibility.
Main Results:
- Hardware achieved a 0.9011 ROC-AUC score for high-quality ECG data acquisition.
- Cloud service accurately detects 20 diagnostic items, with 17 achieving >0.98 ROC-AUC.
- System successfully deployed to ~20,000 users across China.
Conclusions:
- The developed IoT and AI system effectively improves cardiovascular health management.
- The system demonstrates potential for widespread global impact in cardiology.
- Automated detection and mobile accessibility enhance patient care and clinician support.

01:30Pulse rhythm
1.1K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

934
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

2.1K
An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...
