How can a new UAE-developed AI system predict heart disease risk up to 12 years in advance, and why does it matter?

Researchers say the GluFormer AI model analyses just 10–14 days of continuous glucose data from wearable monitors — tracking blood sugar every 15 minutes — to uncover hidden metabolic patterns that traditional one-off blood tests miss, allowing it to identify up to 69 per cent of future cardiovascular deaths years before symptoms appear, a breakthrough that could reshape preventive healthcare in a country facing high obesity and diabetes rates; but how comfortable would you be wearing such devices for early risk prediction, and do you think AI-driven health forecasting should become part of routine check-ups?
