Project Key Words: Congenital heart disease, phonocardiogram, Artificial Intelligence

Post summary

Our project focuses on harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyze phonocardiogram (PCG) data for the early detection of congenital heart disease (CHD). By developing advanced AI algorithms, we aim to revolutionize the way CHD is diagnosed and managed, leading to better outcomes for patients.
