University of Cambridge researchers develop 90% accurate AI algorithm for detecting heart disease in dogs using digital stethoscope audio.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have created an AI algorithm that accurately detects heart disease in dogs, particularly mitral valve disease, which is common in small breeds. The tool analyzes audio from digital stethoscopes, achieving 90% sensitivity—comparable to expert cardiologists. This affordable screening method could enhance early diagnosis and treatment, improving dogs' quality of life. The findings were published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.
