Mark Stone/University of Washington Smart heart rhythm monitoring UW researchers develop an AI system for non-contact monitoring of heart rhythm via smart speakers acting as medical devices. University of Washington have shown that these devices can detect cardiac arrests or monitor babies breathing. But what about tracking something even smaller: the minute motion of individual heartbeats in a person sitting in front of a smart speaker? UW researchers have developed a new skill for a smart speaker that monitors regular and irregular heartbeats without physical contact. The system sends inaud...

UW researchers develop smart speaker heart monitor March 12, 2021 at 1:16 pm "Echo Dots" are pictured at Amazon Headquarters, following a launch event on Sept. 20, 2018, in Seattle Washington. (Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images) A smart speaker like an Amazon Echo could actually be used to diagnose a heart problem with the help of a new technology. How does it work? University of Washington researchers Anran Wang, Dan Nguyen, and Arun Sridhar  joined Seattle’s Morning News to discuss the technology they helped develop. “This technology is essentially a sort of mo...

Researchers have come up with a new skill for smart speakers: tracking the minute motion of your heartbeat while you sit in front of it.

Smart speakers, such as Amazon Echo and Google Home, have proven adept at monitoring certain health care issues at home. For example, researchers at the University of Washington have shown that these devices can detect cardiac arrests or monitor babies breathing.
