1 Heart Disease: How New Tech Can Save Lives

Mark Goddard, Vice President of Clinical Services at InfoBionic.ai, joins Suzanne Newman on the Answers for Elders Radio show to talk about how technology is evolving to save lives when it comes to atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular disease, and coronary heart disease.Mark explains, "Atrial fibrillation causes blood clots to form. And those blood clots can transmit through your body and wind up in your head or your lungs or your heart or your extremities. So atrial fibrillation needs to be well understood. The symptoms need to be discussed, especially with elderly patients who aren't as necessarily active and may not have the same symptoms as someone who is active would have related to fibrillation. People need to understand the impact and relevance of such an arrhythmia."Learn more about InfoBionic's AI-enabled MoMe ARC remote heart monitoring device which sends data in near real time to the cloud for review.Connect with Answers for Elders WebsiteAnswers for Elders Podcasts on YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Chateau RetirementChateau RetirementWalk to End Alzheimer'sLearn more about the Walk to End Alzheimer's at https://www.alz.org/walk.
