Is it possible to use this MAX30102 heart rate sensor to detect a heart attack?

Hi there, right now I am planning to make a device which can detect a heart attack by using MAX30102

After a small research, I found out that a heart attack may be caused by a sudden increase in heart rates or the SpO2 level (the amount of oxygen that your blood is carrying) is lower than 90%.

So my question is: Is it possible to use this MAX30102 heart rate sensor to detect a heart attack?

PS: Also, can an AI be useful in this kind of project. In the future, I might going to track my sleep using heart rates.

Thank you.

Solution
The MAX30102 sensor is great for measuring heart rate and SpO2, but using it to detect a heart attack isn’t straightforward. Heart attacks involve more than just changes in heart rate or oxygen levels, so relying on this sensor alone wouldn't be enough for accurate detection.

But I think that AI can help because it can analyze heart rate and SpO2 patterns over time to spot anything unusual. But to reliably detect a heart attack, you'd need more data, like ECG readings or other health metrics.
