Cardiac Monitoring, Diagnostics to Patient Management discussion with Ron Fridman and João Bocas

João Bocas - The #Wearables Expert ™ Interviews Ron Fridman, Co-Founder & CEO of Mawi, Forbes 30 under 30, Singularity University AI expert and Keynote speaker.

In this episode, we talked about the missed Puzzle in #Cardiac monitoring, from diagnostics to #patient management.

Here are the questions we've addressed:

01:16 The future of remote cardiac monitoring, how long the patient should be monitored, how often, and which devices are most suitable?

05:03 Talking wearables compliance, elderly people could not deal with existing wearables from the market?

10:21 Medical Grade and diagnostic capabilities from medical devices versus awareness and wearability from the consumer world?

We see the biggest markets being cardiology, emergency response, and home healthcare. Diagnostics is being automated by algorithms that can interpret EKG waveforms and determine what type of heart issues a patient is having (i.e. if they're in atrial fibrillation or V-tach). Another area where monitoring will take place is during a cardiac event like a stroke.

A patient experiencing this might not be able to make it to the hospital for treatment, so the algorithms can interpret what's happening and administer the right treatment remotely (e.g. an infusion of tissue plasminogen activator). Patient management currently employed by hospitals is done manually by nurses. This process would be automated so they can focus more on providing actual patient care rather than moving patients around and entering information into an electronic health records.

The history of cardiac #monitoring goes back to the late 1800s, and it has been a raging area of both development and application in the medical industry ever since its inception. If you have any questions about cardiac monitoring or would like us to expound on any particular aspect of this field, feel free to ask us via our contact form. #CardiacMonitoring systems continue to get both more accurate and easier to use, which means they're likely to become an even more common feature of patient care.

Healthcare providers can now count on these devices in nearly any environment. Their proliferation will lead to more accurate diagnoses, safer and better care at lower costs—all while sitting in the palm of a paramedic or clinician's hand. With the use of telemonitoring devices and mobile health applications, heart failure patients can monitor their vital signs without having to go out of the house.

Remote cardiology monitoring will add another dimension and level of convenience to current treatments and services in the industry, enabling early detection of deterioration in a patient's health and delivering timely interventions that may significantly offset disease severity.

Of course, wearable device development regulation is a must in order to protect the interests of consumers, but for the elderly, who are not accustomed to using this type of technology does not have time to study or too lazy, or could not deal with existing wearables from the market due to various reasons such as high requirements of physical power and easy to fall off. Not mention monitor heart rate monitoring and blood pressure issues need special attention and maintenance every day. I
