Can AI Predict Diabetes a Decade Early?

AI Predicts Diabetes from ECG Data Years Early

What if your next routine check-up could predict type 2 diabetes ten years ahead? Two London NHS trusts are testing Aire-DM, an AI that scours ECG heart scans for subtle clues invisible to even the sharpest human eyes. With a 70% accuracy rate that improves when paired with patient data like age or blood pressure, this tech promises to make early detection a norm, not a luxury.

Dr. Fu Siong Ng, leading the charge, notes, “AI can see the patterns we can’t, unlocking a future where prevention beats treatment.” If successful, this tool could drastically cut the risks of complications like heart attacks and strokes by flagging at-risk patients early.

But the excitement isn’t just about spotting risks; it’s about using tech to enable better lives. Healthy living, combined with this kind of early intervention, could rewrite the healthcare narrative for millions.
