Science

Every year approximately 30,000 researchers, medical doctors, and policymakers come together [61] are discussing the latest developments in cardiovascular medicine. [62] This year, I joined the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) annual congress to learn how the field of cardiology in sunny Paris is evolving within the rapidly changing landscape of medicine.
As I [63] poured through the conference program in the last few weeks, it became clear that another key topic stood out apart from [64] interventional and preventative cardiology. The conference had a dedicated space to digital health this year, with talks on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and wearable technologies. The use of telemedicine or digital health promises a revolution in healthcare utilization and screening of high-risk undiagnosed individuals. It’s as easy as having an app on your smartphone that can measure your blood pressure or a wristwatch that can [65] tell time and send alerts to you or your physician.
The Apple heart study was a frequent topic of conversation as it showed the feasibility of using the Apple Watch to detect atrial fibrillation in the general population. Out of 400,000 individuals, 0.5% were detected with atrial fibrillation, later confirmed by the physician during follow-up. On September 10th, Apple Inc launched three additional healthcare [66] studies: enabling sharing of healthcare data between individuals and researchers.
Sounds exciting, [67] and not everyone is thrilled at the prospect of sharing healthcare data widely.
[68] There are totally some giant red flags raised by the involvement of Amazon, Google, and Apple because of concerns around privacy of healthcare data. There are also multiple concerns about losing patient-physician contact and that cardiologists will become obsolete. Professor Martin Cowie (Imperial College London) suggests [69] they’re not all black and white, and the role of the cardiologist is simply changing. Even the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK [70] is encouraging citizens to try an app which can triage patients as an alternative to the NHS advice telephone line. Recent clinical trials have evaluated the benefit of remotely monitoring patients with heart failure using wrist-based sensors. Professor Gerhard Hindricks (Leipzig University) told us that some studies reported a benefit to patients, in terms of a reduction in unscheduled physician visits, and others showed no benefit or harm to the patients. Hindricks suggested this is due to a difference in processes and systems of data management, proposing centralized systems for multi-center collaborations in remote monitoring trials.CC-BY License can be found at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0.
