Press Conference: HKUMed develops medical-grade smartphone stethoscope to support valvular heart disease detection
In a press conference held by the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) on July 31, 2024, our Managing Director – Professor Joseph Wu and Lead Scientist – Professor Joshua Ho, demonstrated to the press how Vitogram, an invention of the Laboratory of Data Discovery for Health, enables the detection of valvular heart disease with an estimated accuracy of 81% – a level comparable to a doctor’s assessment using a stethoscope. This patented AI technology, soon to be launched in the market, is expected to prevent the progression to more severe cardiac conditions. Vitogram has been awarded a Gold Medal with Congratulations of the Jury at the 49th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva.
