Development of an AI-Based Trusted Smart System for Cardiovascular Health Monitoring (TSS CARDIO)

2025-04-02

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health challenge that requires early detection and continuous monitoring for effective treatment. Globally, in 2021, approximately 20.5 million people died from CVDs, highlighting their significant impact on global mortality. Therefore, early diagnosis and management of CVDs is vital.
TSS CARDIO aims to develop an AI-based, trusted smart system for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of cardiovascular health. By analyzing PPG signals (the volumetric changes of blood in peripheral circulation) and applying AI algorithms, the system will enable accurate measurements and predictions of physiological parameters, including cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and other relevant indicators, to prevent complications and provide timely support.

Why this Matters

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death globally, demanding innovative solutions for early detection and continuous monitoring. This project addresses this critical need by developing an AI-powered, real-time cardiovascular health monitoring system. By accurately analyzing PPG signals, this system promises to transform preventative care, enabling timely interventions and personalized health management. Ultimately, it aims to empower individuals to take proactive control of their cardiovascular health, reduce the burden of CVDs, and contribute to saving lives through accessible, reliable, and intelligent health monitoring.
