AI-MediSphere™ – The Cardiovascular Prognosticator

July 1, 2023July 1, 2023

Heart diseases are the #1 cause of death every year. Why? It’s usually already too late when people realize something is wrong and contact a medic. How can we help people realize sooner, and simultaneously, how can we help medics save lives?
