- In future, this tool will help in early detection of disease in routine checkups.
AI In Healthcare: Millions of people around the world are victims of hypertension. Due to this, heart disease, stroke and kidney related problems can occur. About 10 percent of people suffering from hypertension become victims of masked hypertension. That is, during checkup, blood pressure appears completely normal, but in reality it remains high. Usually even doctors are not able to detect it, due to which patients do not get timely treatment. Now this problem can be solved with AI system. In case of this disease, AI will detect those dangers which escape the attention of doctors.
What is the method of detecting masked hypertension?
Usually, to detect this condition, a wearable device is used, which keeps monitoring blood pressure throughout the day. This is an accurate method, but it is not used much. Wearing this device all day can be difficult and is also expensive. Due to this, this disease is not detected in most of the patients.
AI can solve
A study by the University of Arkansas has raised hopes of solving this problem. University researchers have created an AI system, which can detect masked hypertension with the help of standard health data. This system has been trained with information obtained from African-PREDICT, a large study conducted in South Africa. With the help of this information, this AI program can identify patterns related to masked hypertension. When it was tested, it accurately identified 83 percent of cases of masked hypertension. Its special thing is that it does not require any kind of special equipment.
This is how the whole game may change in the future
Another feature of this system is that it can process more information simultaneously. In comparison, doctors depend on limited indicators. This is the reason why this system can also identify those hidden dangers which doctors usually cannot see. In future, this tool can be used in the health record system, so that doctors will be able to detect this disease even during the routine checkup of the patient. This will speed up the screening of patients and will also help them in getting prompt treatment.
