A predictive model of cardiovascular disease, designed with artificial intelligence. It is one of the innovations applied in the health sector in the province of Holguin to improve care for these conditions, among the leading causes of death in Cuba.
The initiative can be apply in the family doctor’s and nurse’s offices, and surpasses traditional models by anticipating the first symptoms in at-risk population groups.
Jorge Vega Abascal, author of the research, told CNA that among the advantages of the innovation are the elimination of therapeutic inertia. Associated with intermediate risk and its understanding and easy management by basic health structures. Although it does not replace clinical judgment.
He said that the use of artificial intelligence in the new tool allows the incorporation of other predictors. Such as highly sensitive C-reactive protein, which is not included in traditional methods for the early detection of cardiovascular diseases.
This protein, explained the specialist, detects chronic or low-grade inflammation, abdominal obesity, altered fasting blood glucose and triglycerides. Risk factors in diagnosed cases, which enables personalized patient care.
Also the health sector in the province implements science and technological innovation as a strategy to make the most of local capabilities in the face of the crisis of equipment and supplies that the sphere faces. Caused by the hostile policy of the United States against Cuba.
As part of this strategy, the use of educational software is promote in the formation of human capital. The psychosocial approach in addressing Autism Spectrum Disorder and models aimed at nursing care in areas such as Oncohematology.
