IIT Professor Develops AI-VR Device to Enhance Heart Disease Diagnosis

A professor at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad has developed EchoPulse, a device combining artificial intelligence and virtual reality to analyze heart scan images more quickly and accurately. The system uses explainable AI to help doctors understand its assessments and presents heart activity in interactive 3D. It estimates clinical measures like heart pumping efficiency, aiding early diagnosis and treatment. Supported by a Rs 47 lakh grant from the Anusandhan National Research Foundation, EchoPulse aims to improve heart testing accessibility, especially in resource-limited areas.
