- 16:00AI Analysis of ECG: Can a heart attack be detected before a doctor arrives?Rečníci16:00 - 16:10IPCŠimon Rovder, Powerful Medical
Although Slovakia has one of the densest emergency medical service networks in Europe, these capacities have not yet translated into better outcomes in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Up to one third of heart attack patients are transferred secondarily to a cardiology center, resulting in valuable time loss, and mortality from heart attacks is therefore approximately twice as high compared to other European countries.
The PMcardio platform enables ECG interpretation using artificial intelligence and allows detection of a heart attack at the very first point of contact with the patient—whether in an ambulance, emergency department, or a general practitioner’s office. National cardiology institutes have been successfully using it for more than a year, leading to faster recognition of acute conditions and a shorter time to treatment.
