A set of training electrocardiograms (ECGs) for each of a plurality of subjects is processed using a machine learning model to generate an output for each training ECG of each of the plurality of subjects. Training ECGs for each subject are labeled with an identity of the subject. A machine learning model is trained by comparing the output generated for each training ECG to a corresponding label of the training ECG to generate an identity model to identify ECGs of a first subject of the plurality of subjects. A first ECG is received from an ECG sensor and input to the identity model, which generates an output indicating whether the first ECG corresponds to the first subject. In response to the output indicating that the first ECG does not correspond to the first subject, a condition that the first subject has or may develop is determined based on the output.
