Artificial intelligence and digital health
This review highlights the rapid transition of artificial intelligence and digital health from research to clinical implementation across multiple domains of cardiovascular medicine, including arrhythmia detection, heart failure risk stratification, and imaging.
Limitations
- Results generated by most machine-learning algorithms often fail to replicate in different datasets.
- Deep learning algorithms are susceptible to adversarial examples, leading to wrong classification.
- Lack of transparency on the true independence between the training and the independent validation datasets.
