In this exclusive MedPage Today video recorded at the recent American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting, Kevin Campbell, MD, a cardiologist based in Raleigh, N.C., and CEO of PaceMate, explains how automating data in a clinically actionable way can help patients every day in healthcare.
The following is a transcript of his remarks:
I think there was a huge buzz around the presentation of [the] Apple Heart Study, and I think a couple of takeaway points that we heard from many of us here at ACC is that this is the first thing that has been shown that we can do a large-scale trial virtually, and that's really important in this digital world, that we're seeing the ability to have patients from all over the world enrolled in a trial with a very low cost point. The problem with the Apple Heart Study, though, however, is that now you're creating this mechanism to dump data on physicians and clinicians, and some of this data is not really verified. We don't know how clean the data is, and I think a lot more study needs to be done. I think that really plays to the role of automation and artificial intelligence in medicine, particularly in cardiology.
