This information is sent to the cloud – a secure online data storage area – to be analysed by AI algorithms that can detect subtle heart problems a human would miss.
Also its probably not even “AI” and just an algorithm.
A company where I live do this and they do use AI. AI as in trained neural networks. Or a sort of an algorithm if you want.
Yeah, it’s not even a “stethoscope”…
The device, manufactured by California company Eko Health, is about the size of a playing card. It is placed on a patient’s chest to take an ECG recording of the electrical signals from their heart, while its microphone records the sound of blood flowing through the heart.
The people selling it know hospitals want “ai” so they don’t have to pay doctors.
So slap “ai” on it, pretend it’s a new version of old tech, and then journalists write shit headlines and people post it when they’d never talk about a legit medical breakthrough.
This is boring, but actually pretty useful. That’s just not how you sell products in a capitalist dystopia…
So we kind of come full circle. Hell, just the fact that we have to advertise medical advancements is pretty cyberpunk if you think about it. We’re just used to it, which is why our dystopia is boring
AI is such an annoying buzzword now. Pictures aren’t photoshopped, doctored with, manipulated or even created anymore. It’s just AI now. I used AI to… Is usually an algorithm or used a computer to…
It’s funny that this is posted in “A Boring Dystopia” and “Positive News”. What looks positive with narrow vision is often dystopian when taken to its conclusion.
But can you afford the chatgippity treatment?
