Remarkable news! Researchers at UBC Faculty of Medicine have developed an AI model that can help identify heart health risks in breast cancer patients using information already collected during routine care.

By detecting cardiovascular disease risk earlier, the technology could support more personalized treatment decisions and improve long-term patient outcomes.

This breakthrough showcases the potential of AI to transform healthcare and enhance care for patients living with complex health conditions.
