New ENACT-Heart model uses CNN and ViT for 97.52% heart sound classification accuracy

Researchers have developed ENACT-Heart, a novel two-branch ensemble model for classifying heart sounds. This system combines a Vision Transformer (ViT) that analyzes spectrogram images with a convolutional neural network (CNN) that processes waveform visualizations. The ensemble achieved a high accuracy of 97.52% on the PASCAL heart-sound dataset, outperforming individual ViT and CNN models. AI

IMPACT This research presents a new ensemble approach for medical sound analysis, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy in cardiology.
