Heart failure, particularly chronic heart failure (CHF), is a serious condition that affects millions worldwide. While the condition can have life-altering impacts, early detection and proper management can significantly improve outcomes. At Spykra Technologies, we are leveraging artificial intelligence to transform how CHF is predicted, diagnosed, and managed.
A Smarter Approach to Heart Health
Our latest AI model is designed to predict the likelihood of CHF by analysing data from wearable devices like the Apple Watch, alongside clinical information such as blood test results (BNP & BNP Pro) and the patient’s health history. By combining these diverse data sources, our model provides a comprehensive assessment of heart health. It doesn’t just stop at prediction — it also offers actionable insights for medical professionals, including suggestions for further testing or treatments.
How It Works
- Data Integration:
- The Apple Watch ECG data provides real-time insights into heart rhythms.
- Blood tests like BNP (B-type Natriuretic Peptide) are crucial markers for detecting stress on the heart.
- Patient health records offer historical context, such as previous cardiac issues, medications, or other underlying conditions.
- Prediction and Risk Assessment: The AI analyses this data to calculate the probability of CHF as a percentage. It identifies patterns and markers that could suggest an elevated risk of heart failure before symptoms become severe.
- Further Testing Recommendations: If the risk of CHF is high, the AI suggests additional tests to rule out conditions that mimic CHF symptoms, such as B12 deficiency or thyroid disorders. This ensures a more accurate diagnosis and reduces the likelihood of unnecessary treatments.
- Treatment and Management Support: For patients already diagnosed with CHF, the model assists medical staff in formulating a treatment plan. It considers factors like medication efficacy, lifestyle changes, and rehabilitation strategies to help patients live better with CHF.
Empowering Healthcare Professionals
This AI solution comes with a dedicated app, designed exclusively for use by healthcare professionals, including GPs, cardiologists, and hospital staff. The app offers:
- Real-time Risk Analysis: Immediate insights based on data uploaded or synced through wearable devices and clinical records.
- Customised Recommendations: Tailored advice for tests, treatments, and patient management.
- Easy Integration: The app integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, allowing doctors to focus more on patient care rather than data processing.
Why This Matters
Heart failure can be a silent threat, often going undiagnosed until it’s too late. By using AI to predict CHF, doctors can intervene earlier, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Additionally, by distinguishing CHF from other conditions with similar symptoms, the model minimises diagnostic errors and unnecessary treatments.
A Step Towards the Future
At Spykra Technologies, we believe in harnessing the power of AI to make healthcare smarter and more efficient. Our CHF prediction and monitoring tool is not just about technology; it’s about saving lives and improving quality of care. With this innovation, we aim to give medical professionals the tools they need to make informed decisions quickly and confidently.
Stay tuned as we bring this groundbreaking technology closer to reality, empowering healthcare providers to lead the fight against heart failure.
