Summary

MBZUAI and Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) are collaborating to develop AI algorithms to predict heart attacks months in advance with 87% accuracy using ultrasound images. The project aims to preemptively predict heart attacks in the short and long term, addressing the high rates of cardiac arrest, especially in the Middle East. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between SEHA and MBZUAI to integrate AI into healthcare. Why it matters: This partnership could significantly improve healthcare outcomes in the region by leveraging AI to proactively address heart disease, a leading cause of death.
