Congratulations to Principal Investigator Dr. Padma Kaul and her team of Co-Investigators (including the CVC’s Drs. Sunil Vasu Kalmady and Roopinder Sandhu) on receiving a Spring 2024 Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) grant for the Evaluating Community Gathered ECGs for Survival and Adverse Event Forecasting (ECG-SAFE) study.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a common medical test that artificial intelligence (AI) technology now aids in analyzing more effectively. The primary goal of the ECG-SAFE study is to improve AI algorithms that use ECGs to diagnose heart issues and predict future problems. The study team will determine if the algorithms they developed in acute care environments work well for community settings. They will also develop new algorithms to identify individuals at a higher risk of future adverse events.
