Singapore’s AI tool analyses heart attack damage within one minute

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Singapore.

The National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that analyses heart muscle damage from a heart attack in under 60 seconds.

The platform, called CARDIA-GM, achieves 95% accuracy, and the research validating it has been accepted by the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, according to a press release.

It automatically analyses cardiac MRI scans to detect and measure two critical markers of post-heart attack damage—scarred heart muscle tissue and microvascular obstruction.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Singapore, accounting for nearly one-third of all fatalities, with more than 13,000 heart attack episodes recorded annually.

CARDIA-GM has received funding support from the National Health Innovation Centre. The platform is currently in a 12-month development phase, with plans for deployment across multiple medical centres in Singapore.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
