UAE: This new AI system can predict heart disease risks up to 12 years in advance - Khaleej Times

Summary

Researchers at Khalifa University have developed an AI system capable of predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks up to 12 years in advance. The AI model uses data from the Framingham Heart Study to assess long-term CVD risk factors. It outperforms existing methods in predicting CVD incidence over extended periods. Why it matters: This advancement could significantly improve preventative healthcare strategies in the UAE and globally by enabling earlier interventions for individuals at high risk of heart disease.
