The Pulse Revolution: How Monitoring Your Heartbeat is Shaping the Future of Medicine #6

Can We Predict Heart Attacks from Pulse Monitoring? Recent Advances

Recent studies have suggested that continuous pulse monitoring, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), might help predict cardiac events like heart attacks. AI algorithms can analyze subtle changes in pulse patterns that are often missed by human observation, identifying risk factors earlier. These systems can alert patients and doctors to abnormal heart activity, potentially preventing life-threatening situations. However, while the research is promising, there is still debate about the reliability of these predictions, and more work is needed to make them a standard part of preventive care.
