Saudi Arabia’s Seha Virtual Hospital has announced a breakthrough in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for heart disease diagnosis, confirming that its AI-powered systems have achieved exceptional accuracy rates exceeding 95 percent.
The hospital’s specialists revealed that the advanced algorithm can analyze electrocardiogram signals and medical imaging data with precision comparable to that of professional cardiologists, significantly improving early detection and treatment planning.
This milestone marks a major advancement in the Kingdom’s digital health transformation, enabling doctors to identify complex cardiac conditions earlier and anticipate risk factors, ultimately reducing heart disease mortality rates.
Currently, the AI system is being utilized across more than 130 hospitals and medical centers connected to the Seha Virtual Hospital network, allowing for remote diagnostics and real-time clinical support, especially in underserved and remote regions.
Officials emphasized that this initiative aligns with Vision 2030’s health sector transformation goals, focusing on integrating human expertise with smart technology to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and patient experience.
Experts note that the success of Seha’s AI model reinforces Saudi Arabia’s position as a global leader in medical artificial intelligence, paving the way for expanded applications in diagnosing other conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and neurological diseases.
