|
Dillon Dzikowicz, PhD, RN, PCCN, and Mary Carey, PhD, RN, FAHA, FAAN, contributed to the development of a machine-learning model that accurately identifies abnormal cardiac rhythms in firefighters. Researchers envision that this model could be incorporated into portable heart monitors that firefighters could wear on duty to warn them of cardiac irregularities in real time. Their findings were published in Fire Safety Journal.
