新的人工智能足部扫描仪可通过检测心衰竭的早期征兆来防止住院治疗。 New AI foot scanner may prevent hospitalizations by detecting early signs of heart failure.

研究人员开发了一台AI型脚扫描仪,可以帮助防止心脏病患者住院治疗。 Researchers have developed an AI-powered foot scanner that could help prevent hospitalizations for individuals with heart failure. 该装置的大小相当于一个聪明的扬声器,它每分钟分析近2,000张图像,以检测脚踝和脚踝的液体留存情况,这是心脏衰竭恶化的关键警告信号。 The device, about the size of a smart speaker, analyzes nearly 2,000 images per minute to detect fluid retention in the feet and ankles, a key warning sign of worsening heart failure. 警报可触发保健干预措施,如药物改变,很可能在入院前13天。 Alerts can trigger healthcare interventions, such as medication changes, potentially 13 days before hospital admission. 该研究涉及来自全国保健服务署五个信托基金的26名病人,显示该装置可以发挥“虚拟护士”的作用,对没有无线上网的病人进行有效监测。 The study, involving 26 patients from five NHS trusts, showed the device could act as a "virtual nurse," monitoring patients effectively without Wi-Fi.
