I hate to be like, "Let's use AI for this" on everything, but this actually does seem kind of like a good thing for AI to do, rather than subject a human to it.

Actually this type of applications should be the killer application of AI.

The extreme analogy is that robot instead of human should explore the nuclear incident of Chernobyl and Fukushima.

Now we're trying to build automated analysis of ECG interpretation using AI. In order to interpret standard 12-lead ECG waveforms signal of 5 minutes for Afib detection that's equivalent of 60 minutes duration. For long duration multi-lead Holter ECG it's at least 24-hour, but I think you get the idea.

You can hire cardiologist that interpret the ECG but you probably need sub-specialist cardiologists specializing in ECG interpretation for the best results but only handful of them exist in the world with ratio of 1:100K or 1:1M for experts:populations, depending on where you're living. These expert cardiologist would rather spent the time doing more meaningful exercises for them like pace maker & IPC surgeries, teaching future cardiologists, and having holidays once in a blue moon.Even they can mistake due to human errors and other limitations. Thus this exercise is tailor made for AI.


Seems really unfair to the AI
