AI-Assisted Paper Test Measures Three Cardiac Biomarkers in 23 Minutes

Researchers developed an AI-assisted dual-mode paper assay that measures cTnI, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP from 50 µL of serum in 23 minutes. In single-site analytical validation, neural networks quantified the three biomarkers across distinct concentration ranges, supporting further development for multiplexed cardiac testing at the point of care.
