Founded in 2014, Cardiologs has worked with physicians and cardiologists since its inception to develop a database of around 1.5 million electrocardiography (ECG) recordings, with deep learning algorithms leveraged to subsequently recognize patterns and diagnose heart conditions in patients more quickly.

Readings garnered from Holter monitors, an ECG device for tracking heart activity, are fed into Cardiologs’ system which then displays the analysis of the recordings.

Cardiologs, ultimately, is what is known as a clinical decision support system (CDSS), and is designed to help physicians detect anomalies in a patient’s heart activity.

However, Cardiologs said that it’s capable of spotting more than 100 different kinds of cardiac abnormalities.

California-based Eko is doing something similar to Cardiologs, and it raised $20 million just a few months back, while London’s Kheiron Technologies closed a $22 million funding tranche for AI that helps radiologists detect cancer earlier. | To read full story, visit https://startuparound.com/read/1578655805.9445825/Cardiologs-raises-$15-million-for-AI-that-helps-spot-heart-conditions?ref=audio_experience
