Artificial intelligence is transforming heart care—and researchers are making sure the benefits reach everyone, not just the privileged few. At the American Heart Association's 2026 conference, Emory's Dr. Jose Medina-Inojosa is leading the charge to design cardiology AI with equity built in from the start, ensuring these life-saving technologies work across all communities.

The shift matters because AI trained on limited datasets can perpetuate healthcare disparities. By prioritizing diverse populations in AI development for ECG analysis, echocardiograms, and imaging studies, cardiologists are creating tools that catch heart disease earlier and more accurately—regardless of a patient's background or zip code.
