Ukufumana isifo sentliziyo kwangethuba

I-FDA-cleared intelligence intelligence (AI) algorithms efumanisa izikhombisi eziphambili zesifo sentliziyo ngoku ziyafumaneka kubasebenzi bezempilo kwi-Eko App entsha.      

I-Eko, inkampani yezempilo yedijithali eqhubela phambili ekubhaqweni kwesifo sentliziyo kunye nemiphunga, namhlanje ibhengeze ukuqaliswa kwe-Eko App entsha, eya kuguqula intsebenziswano yezigulane ibe lithuba lokuhlola isifo senhliziyo. Isifo senhliziyo sesona sizathu siphambili sokufa e-US, kwaye akukhange kubekho isisombululo esisebenzayo nesifikelelekayo sokuhlola isifo sentliziyo kuvavanyo lomzimba kude kube ngoku.

"Imisebenzi yeklinikhi yangoku yokufumanisa isifo senhliziyo idla ngokubandakanya iimvavanyo ezibizayo ezenziwa yingcali kwimeko engxamisekileyo, eyenza ukuxilongwa kwangaphambili kungenakwenzeka," kusho uDkt Adam Saltman, iGosa eliyiNtloko lezoNyango, u-Eko. “Uvavanyo lomzimba lunika ithuba lokubonwa kwangethuba isifo sentliziyo. Nangona kunjalo, ukuya kuthi ga kwi-80% yezandi zentliziyo ezingaqhelekanga azibonakali xa iimviwo zisenziwa nge-stethoscope yesintu. Oku kunokulibazisa unyango olusindisa ubomi kwizigulana.”

U-Eko uguqule i-stethoscope yesiko ukuba sisixhobo sokubona isifo esikrelekrele ukunceda oogqirha babone isifo sentliziyo lula ngexesha lovavanyo lomzimba. Umgca wabo westethoscopes ezikrelekrele, xa udityaniswe nesoftware yokufumanisa isifo esizihambelayo kusetyenziswa i-Eko App, uhlalutya izandi zentliziyo nge-algorithms ye-AI ecaciswe yi-FDA eqinisekisiweyo ngokwezonyango.* Ngemizuzwana, i-algorithms inokubona ukumbombozela kwentliziyo kunye ne-atrial fibrillation (AFib)* * ngomsebenzi othelekisekayo kwiingcali zabantu.   

"Abaqeqeshi bezempilo be-Frontline bayindlela yethu yokukhusela ekubambeni isifo se-cardiovascular ekuqaleni, kodwa bacela umngeni ukwenza oko ngezixhobo ezidlulileyo, ixesha elaneleyo, kunye nezixhobo ezingonelanga," kusho uConnor Landgraf, i-CEO kunye ne-Co-founder, u-Eko. "Ngesifo esixhaphake kakhulu kuluntu lwethu, kunyanzelekile ukuba sinikeze zonke iingcali zempilo ngesisombululo esibanceda ukuba baxilonge ngokuzithemba ngakumbi kwaye banike izigulane zabo ukunakekelwa okungcono kakhulu. Le yindlela esiza kusindisa ngayo izigidi zabantu kwiminyaka ezayo. ”

I-algorithm ye-Eko ye-AI yokuchonga ukumbombozela kwentliziyo, isalathisi esikhokelayo sesifo se-valve yentliziyo, yaqinisekiswa ngokweklinikhi ukuba yenze ngovakalelo lwe-87.6% kunye ne-87.8%. I-algorithm yabo yokufumanisa i-fibrillation ye-atrial eyenziwa kwi-sensitivity ye-98.9% kunye ne-96.9 ethile. Ukuqinisekiswa kwehlabathi lokwenyani lwe-algorithm yokufumanisa ukumbombozela kwentliziyo ka-Eko kwavela kupapasho lwamva nje, oluphononongwe ngoontanga kwiJenali yeAmerican Heart Association. Yayiluphononongo olukhulu kuhlalutyo lwe-AI lokumbombozela kwentliziyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.

"Itekhnoloji ye-Eko indinike isiqinisekiso esongeziweyo sokufumanisa kunye nokuqinisekisa ukumbombozela kwentliziyo kunye ne-atrial fibrillation kwizigulana zam," utshilo uJoanna Kmiecik, MD, iNgcali yoNyango lweSapho. “Ukusebenziseka ngokulula kunye nobume obuphathekayo beemveliso zika-Eko bundinceda ukuba ndivavanye izigulana kanye e-ofisini yam, ndinempembelelo encinci kwindlela yam yokuxilonga umzimba. Ukuba ndiva intliziyo ivakala ikrokrela isifo, u-Eko uyayiqinisekisa ngokuchanekileyo ngemizuzwana. Oku kundinceda ndigqibe izigqibo zokhathalelo kwaye ndibhekise kwingcali ngokuzithemba xa kufanelekile. Izigulana zam ziyayonwabela indlela ezinokusebenzisana ngayo ne-app, kwaye ndiziva ndingugqirha ongcono. ”
