AI can predict signs of a heart attack within a year — from a routine eye test LEEDS, United Kingdom (StudyFinds.org) - An artificial intelligence system is capable of spotting whether someone will have a heart attack within the next year — through a routine eye scan.
A team from the University of Leeds believes this AI tool opens the door to a cheap and simple screening program for the world’s No. 1 killer.
