Biography
Elianna Knight is a physician and researcher whose work focuses on applying artificial intelligence to improve cardiovascular diagnosis and prevention. Her research investigates how machine learning can extract meaningful information from health data, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), to detect disease before symptoms appear.
A central theme in her research is developing AI models that identify hidden signs of structural heart disease and cardiovascular conditions from simple tests. By combining clinical medicine, computational biology, and health datasets, she explores how AI can support earlier diagnosis, improve risk prediction, and guide decisions about which patients require further evaluation.
Her research aims to translate advances in artificial intelligence into practical clinical tools that make screening more accessible and efficient. By linking data science with patient care, Knight’s work contributes to earlier detection and personalised prevention of heart disease.
