VIDEO: Remote monitoring, AI to play key roles in the future of cardiology

Healthcare innovation is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, and cardiology is on the brink of transformative change using new forms of remote monitoring and artificial intelligence (AI). 

Thomas M. Maddox, MD, SM, professor of medicine and vice president of digital products and innovation at BJC HealthCare, Washington University School of Medicine, gave a presentation on new technology advances at ACC.24, the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology (ACC). He then spoke with Cardiovascular Business, providing insights into cardiology's future. 

"Digital health is really starting to mature and become a key part of how we're going to practice cardiology going forward. There are some newer ways that we are collecting data about patient's health, and particularly when patients are not with us in a clinic or a hospital. So we are monitoring them at home and making sure that we're not missing early signs of disease worsening or disease progression," Maddox explained.
