AI software to detect heart plaque developed by Grade 11 students
- Grade 11 students from Quezon City developed an artificial intelligence-powered software that can easily and more accurately detect plaque buildup in the heart from an image of a CT scan. According to the Game Changer segment of "24 Oras" on Monday,
A group of Grade 11 students from the Philippine Science High School in Cagayan Valley has developed an AI software named "HeartScan AI" aimed at detecting plaque buildup in the heart. This innovative project was showcased at the 2024 International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Los Angeles, where it won the Gordon E. Moore Award for Positive Outcomes for Future Generations. The software utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyze medical images, specifically CT scans, to identify and quantify plaque in coronary arteries, which can lead to heart attacks if not addressed. The students' work not only highlights their technical skills but also their commitment to addressing significant health issues through technology, potentially offering a cost-effective and accessible tool for early detection of heart disease.
