Montreal Heart Institute (HeartWise.AI) (Avram et al.)
Supervised EfficientNetV2-based 12-lead ECG model trained on over 1 million ECGs from the Montreal Heart Institute to predict 77 cardiac conditions derived from American Heart Association recommendations, plus fine-tuned digital-biomarker heads for reduced LVEF, 5-year atrial-fibrillation risk, and long-QT-syndrome (LQTS) detection/genotyping. Validated on 881,403 ECGs across 11 geographically diverse cohorts (4 public, 7 private health systems), achieving AUROCs above 0.98 for the 77-condition interpretation task while being 60x smaller and 29x faster at inference than its self-supervised DeepECG-SSL counterpart, with up to 9.7x lower CO2 emissions on equivalent tasks.

DeepECG Multi-Site External Validation Cohort
Aggregate of 11 geographically diverse external validation cohorts totaling 881,403 ECGs: four public datasets (UK Biobank, Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging [CLSA], MIMIC-IV, PTB) and seven private health-system datasets (UCSF, MGH, Cedars-Sinai, JGH, UW, NYP, CHUM).
Montreal Heart Institute ECG Database (MHI-ds)
Over 1,000,000 12-lead ECGs from 184,210 patients treated at the Montreal Heart Institute, with automated free-text extraction of 77 AHA-derived diagnostic labels from ECG reports; primary training data for DeepECG-SL and part of the DeepECG-SSL pretraining corpus.
