The Heartwise AI Lab at the Montreal Heart Institute merges medical imaging, multi-omics, and deep learning under the guidance of Dr. Avram. Our mission is to create practical, equitable AI solutions to revolutionize cardiovascular care. Equipped with crucial clinical datasets, state-of-the-art genomic data, and advanced deep learning clusters, we undertake complex research initiatives. Our team is diligently working on computer vision algorithms for better coronary angiogram interpretation and signal processing techniques for ECG interpretation. We're equipped with significant cloud storage and deep learning clusters, ensuring we have the computational power for large-scale, cutting-edge AI models.
Our researchers at the Heartwise AI Lab dive into an array of research areas:
Cardiovascular imaging and informatics using deep learning
AI-driven precision medicine in cardiology
Clinical decision support in cardiovascular care
Clinical research informatics in cardiovascular diseases
Informatics for real-world AI solutions in cardiovascular health
Natural language processing in cardiology
Patient-centered AI in cardiovascular care
AI infrastructure and computational capabilities for cardiovascular research
Integration of AI in health care delivery and digital health.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of adult death worldwide. The minimally-invasive procedure called coronary angiography provides the primary gateway for nearly all CHD diagnosis and clinical management decisions, as well as stent-based therapy for CHD.
A team of researchers at UCSF developed a technology called CathEF that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assess how well the heart pumps blood during a common heart test.
