RAPID AIM is an artificial intelligence tool designed to quickly detect heart attacks by analyzing images of electrocardiograms (ECGs). It supports fast diagnosis in emergency situations by allowing medical staff to identify signs of acute myocardial infarction within seconds, even when specialist expertise is not immediately available.
Detecting a heart attack as early as possible is essential to saving lives, but delays are common in emergency rooms, ambulances and low-resource settings. ECGs are often printed or shared as images, and their interpretation usually requires a cardiologist or trained specialist. When this expertise is not available, diagnosis can be delayed, slowing treatment and increasing long-term risks for patients.
RAPID AIM addresses this challenge by using artificial intelligence to automatically interpret ECG images. A photo or scan of an ECG, whether printed or captured with a smartphone, can be securely analyzed by the system. The AI detects patterns associated with heart attacks within seconds and immediately returns the result to healthcare professionals. This enables faster clinical decisions and earlier treatment, without waiting for specialist review.
