Ambiq’s AI-based HeartKit supercharges digital health intelligence
HeartKit is built on Ambiq’s AI SDK, neuralSPOT, and enables efficient real-time heart-monitoring applications H
oneywell Ambiq is a developer of ultra-low- power semiconductor solutions that deliver a
multifold increase in energy efficiency. It recently introduced Ambiq HeartKit, in addition to its neuralSPOT’s Model Zoo. This highlyioptimised AI model enables running various real-time heart monitoring applications to help users and their healthcare providers quickly identify any irregular events to take necessary actions. As with all Ambiq Model Zoo components, HeartKit includes scripts and tools to help AI developers add real-time ECG monitoring capabilities to their health- tech applications.
Personalised health monitoring Personalised health monitoring is becoming ubiquitous with the development of AI models, spanning clinical-grade remote patient monitoring to commercial-grade health and fitness applications. Most
leading consumer products offer similar electrocardiograms (ECG) for common types of heart arrhythmia. Ambiq’s HeartKit is a reference AI model that demonstrates analysing 1-lead ECG data to enable a variety of heart applications, such as detecting heart arrhythmia and capturing heart rate variability metrics. Furthermore, by analysing individual beats, the model can identify irregular beats,
such as premature and ectopic beats originating in the atrium or ventricles. “Ambiq’s HeartKit may be the most
comprehensive open-source TinyML implementation of AI-based heart monitoring for IoT end-point devices,” said Carlos Morales, VP of AI at Ambiq. “The highly-optimised AI model will help developers enable healthtech applications on Ambiq Apollo4 Plus SoC in matter of minutes.”
Specific models
By leveraging a modern multi- head network architecture coupled with Ambiq’s low-power SoC, the model is designed to be efficient and expandable. While the pre-trained model is ready to use on Ambiq platforms, it also includes software to train, convert and deploy customised models where needed. The HeartKit has been released under the BSD-3 license for ease of deployment and development.
