Everton BEAT-Breathlessness Community Hub: How Football Can Help Save Lives

Early Detection With Ai Echo

An innovative approach to early diagnosis of heart failure (HF) and COPD, leveraging the power of Premier League football to reach communities that may not otherwise respond to community health care screening strategies. By integrating AI-enabled point-of-care diagnostics into a 1-stop community hub, this project is making early detection more accessible than ever.
