Answered
How quickly does the AI tool claim to detect heart disease?
Reports say it can spot heart disease in less than two seconds, with some coverage noting a five‑second face scan.
Which health service is testing the technology?
The National Health Service (NHS) is conducting trials of the AI system.
What other condition is the tool said to diagnose?
The Mirror’s coverage mentions it could also identify high blood pressure.
Where it stands
People could soon feel the relief of an instant health check, as the NHS rolls out trials of an AI system that promises to flag heart disease in seconds. The NHS has begun testing this capability, aiming to catch disease that was once undetectable without extensive testing.\n\nThe Guardian reported the tool identifies heart disease in less than two seconds, while The Telegraph described it as catching problems in the "blink of an eye." The Times and The Sun echoed the claim of seconds‑long detection, and The Mirror added that high blood pressure may also be diagnosed after a five‑second scan.
The next step hinges on how regulators will validate accuracy before broader deployment.
