Echocardiography expert Roberto Lang, MD, says artificial intelligence will be so important to cardiac ultrasound in the near future that echo labs not using it will be inefficient and less accurate than labs that do use it.

The algorithm, developed using data from more than 7,00 chest pain patients, performed better than multiple techniques currently used to evaluate cardiac events. 

‘We need to design and build AI that helps healthcare professionals be better at what they do.’

Americans are somewhat more troubled than thrilled over AI’s mounting presence in modern life. But the collective outlook is a rich blend of both.

America’s two major political parties are talking in practical unison about working things out over a common cause.

Today’s generative AI—namely ChatGPT-4—is pretty darned good at parsing out probable diseases in difficult-to-diagnose patient cases.

If healthcare AI is to flourish outside of academic research settings and industry R&D departments, it will need to win over its most difficult-to-impress audience: healthcare workers in hospitals.

The goal is to inform users on how to best utilize AI tools while also practicing caution, as many are still in their early stages of deployment and can pose risks.
