HBNET: A blended ensemble model for the detection of cardiovascular anomalies using phonocardiogram
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the HbNet model exhibits a high level of efficacy in the early detection of cardiac disorders. Results also imply that HbNet has the potential to serve as a valuable tool for the development of decision-support systems that aid medical practitioners in confirming their diagnoses. This method makes it easier for medical professionals to diagnose and initiate prompt treatment while performing preliminary auscultation and reduces unnecessary echocardiograms.PMID:38393859 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231290 (Source: Technology and Health Care)
