Cone Health uses AI to plan cardiac procedures

By WFMY News 2 · June 24, 2026.

The Cone Health system, headquartered in Greensboro (North Carolina, U.S.), has begun using artificial intelligence to assist in the planning of cardiac procedures, according to local television station WFMY News 2.

The summary below is based solely on the headline and the description from the RSS feed, which are very brief, so it is not possible to provide specific details about which particular technology Cone Health uses, what type of cardiac procedures it covers, or what clinical results have been obtained.

What can be stated with certainty is that Cone Health is one of the leading hospital systems in North Carolina's Piedmont Triad region, with several hospitals and thousands of healthcare employees. The news indicates that this system has taken concrete steps toward integrating AI into the planning phase —not just diagnosis— of cardiac interventions, which represents a deeper use of the technology than simply supporting image reading.

As sector context, the application of AI in interventional cardiology is growing in hospitals around the world. AI-assisted planning tools allow, for example, simulating the positioning of stents or heart valves from CT or MRI images, reducing operating-room times and anticipating complications. Companies such as Heartflow, Medtronic and Siemens Healthineers have solutions in this space, although it is not possible to confirm which one Cone Health uses without the original article.

Given the scarcity of available information, it is recommended to consult the video directly on the WFMY News 2 website or Cone Health's communication channels for verified details on the scope and results of this initiative.
