Artificial intelligence will soon help paramedics recognize heart attacks

When someone goes into cardiac arrest, "the chance of survival decreases about 10 percent with each minute," said Adele Peters at Fast Company​. Time is of the essence. Recognizing that the patient has actually entered cardiac arrest — the first step in treatment — is difficult, particularly if the symptoms are being "relayed by a panicked friend or relative." In Denmark, emergency dispatchers "now have help from AI."
