The company behind a smartphone app for healthcare professionals has announced plans for a powerful new machine-learning feature after months of collaboration with Waterloo Engineering professor Alexander Wong.
Joshua Landy, co-founder of Figure 1, told the recent International Congress on Electrocardiology that it will provide free, high-quality electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis on its popular social network for doctors.
“The ECG is the least expensive, highest-impact diagnostic tool we have in medicine today – and we can now make it even better,” said Landy, a critical care doctor. “This project will bring instantaneous interpretations of electrocardiograms to everyone with access to a smartphone.”
