I-Smart Stethoscope Entsha Ingahlonza Ukwehluleka Kwenhliziyo

U-Eko, inkampani yezempilo yedijithali ethuthukisa ukutholwa kwesifo senhliziyo namaphaphu, umemezele namuhla ukuthi i-Imperial College yaseLondon, ngokubambisana ne-UK National Health Service (NHS), ishicilele ucwaningo1 olugqamisa ikhono lika-Eko lokuhlola iziguli ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo ngemizuzwana I-AI ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa ngokomzimba.  

I-Eko's low ejection fraction algorithm (ELEFT) ithola iphampu yenhliziyo ebuthakathaka, ekhona cishe engxenyeni yeziguli ezihluleka inhliziyo.2 Yathuthukiswa ngokubambisana neMayo Clinic futhi izothunyelwa ku-FDA ngaphansi kwe-"Breakthrough Designation" ukuze ibuyekezwe ngokusemthethweni. kamuva kulo nyaka.

"Leli thuluzi livumela ochwepheshe bezempilo ukuthi balawule ngokuthembekile noma bakhiphe ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo endaweni yokunakekelwa," kusho uDkt. Nicholas Peters, uProfesa weCardiology, i-Imperial College London. “Umphumela kuzoba ukuxilonga nokwelashwa kusenesikhathi kanye nokugwema ukuhlolwa okungenasidingo nokumba eqolo kulabo okunqatshelwe ukumelwa yinhliziyo. Lokhu kusho ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okungcono futhi okonga kakhulu. Kungushintsho ngokuphelele. ”

Ngokusho kwe-American Heart Association, abantu abadala baseMelika abayizigidi ezingu-6 balinganiselwa ukuthi banenhliziyo yokuhluleka kwenhliziyo, i-3 nabantu abayizigidi ezingu-26 abathintekayo emhlabeni jikelele.4 Ukuxilongwa kuyinselele enkulu enikezwe ukuthi izimpawu zokuhluleka kwenhliziyo nazo zihlotshaniswa nezinye izimo eziningi futhi ukutholakala ngokuvamile kudinga uchungechunge. zokuhlolwa ezibizayo. Ngokusebenzisa i-Eko DUO ECG + Digital Stethoscope ene-ELEFT, ukwehluleka kwenhliziyo okubangelwa iphampu yenhliziyo ebuthakathaka kungatholwa ngemizuzwana phakathi nokuhlolwa kwe-stethoscope.

"Ikhono elingaphezu komuntu lokuhlola iziguli kunoma iyiphi indawo yokunakekelwa, kuhlanganise nangaphambi kokuhlinzwa, kufanele inselele iqiniso elingamukeleki lokuthi i-80% yeziguli ezinesifo senhliziyo okwamanje zitholakala ngokungeniswa esibhedlela esiphuthumayo," kusho uDkt. Patrick Bachtiger, umbhali oholayo kanye nodokotela oholayo. ocwaningweni lwezempilo e-UK's National Heart and Lung Institute. “Indlela yamanje yasemtholampilo imane igeje iziguli eziningi, zisale zingaxilongwa zize zigule kakhulu. Leli thuluzi lingonga isikhathi nemali futhi livulele izinzuzo ezinkulu ezigulini ngokuxilongwa kusenesikhathi nokwelashwa okusebenzayo.”

Ocwaningweni, ukusebenza kwe-algorithm ekutholeni iphampu yenhliziyo ebuthakathaka bekukuhle kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nezinga legolide lamanje le-echocardiography. Lapho ukurekhoda kwemizuzwana engu-15 kuthathwa ne-DUO endaweni eyodwa yesifuba, i-algorithm yayinembe ngo-81% ekuhlonzeni umsebenzi wokumpompa inhliziyo ovamile nokhubazekile. Ukunemba kukhuphuke kwafinyelela ku-86% lapho kusetshenziswa izindawo ezimbili zokuqopha.

"Lolu ucwaningo oluyingqophamlando ngezizathu eziningi," kusho uDkt Adam Saltman, Isikhulu Esiphezulu Sezokwelapha e-Eko. "Abaphenyi bakhombise ukuthi i-algorithm yokutholwa kwengxenyana ye-ejection ephansi ingakwazi ukukhomba ngokushesha, kalula, nangempumelelo iziguli ezinomsebenzi wokupompa inhliziyo okhubazekile, noma lezo ziguli zingakabi nazo izimpawu."
