heart rate and step count measurements were collected
from 9,750 users of the Cardiogram app who also enrolled in the UC San Francisco Health eHeart Study, with the data used to train DeepHeart, Cardiogram's deep neural network.Once trained, DeepHeart was able to read
heart rate data collected by wearables, distinguishing between normal
heart rhythm and atrial fibrillation with a 97 percent accuracy rate, both when testing UCSF patients with known
