Artificial intelligence (AI) start-up Corti is to expand tests of its cardiac-arrest detection service from Copenhagen to four European cities. The AI system scans emergency calls for words and characteristics, such as breathing and tone of caller's voice, that are common to reports of heart attack. In an analysis of 161,000 emergency calls made in the Danish capital in 2014, Corti correctly identified 72% of cardiac arrest events, compared with 93% of human operators. It also recognised a heart attack 30 seconds faster than the human operators. The expansion is in partnership with the European Emergency Number Association.
