AI laser that reads heartbeat through the throat could replace stethoscopes

New invention, which can be set up at home, promises to transform the way we monitor our health, say scientists

Scientists have developed a laser camera that can read a person's heartbeat at a distance and pinpoint signs that they might be suffering from cardiovascular illnesses.

The system - which exploits AI and quantum technologies - could transform the way we monitor our health, say researchers at Glasgow University.
