#81 Artificial Intelligence in Cardiology with Mark Goddard: Real-Time ECGs, Home Monitoring and the Atrial Fibrillation Crisis

Mark Goddard, Vice President of Clinical Services at InfoBionic.Ai, a leading authority in cardiac remote monitoring. A registered nurse with over 20 years of experience in clinical electrophysiology, Mark has pioneered service lines across ambulatory ECG, cardiac event monitoring, mobile telemetry and heart failure management in hundreds of institutions. He’s also a certified Clinical Cardiac Device Specialist with deep knowledge of subcutaneous monitoring and AI-assisted diagnosticsIn this episode, we explore how AI and real-time ECG data are revolutionising arrhythmia detection, heart failure prediction and patient engagement especially for high-risk groups like those with A-Fib. Mark shares practical insights from the front lines of cardiac care, how to tell genuine innovation from AI hype and why the future of diagnostics may lie beyond traditional heart monitoring. We also cover clinical implementation challenges, device design for older populations and the fine line between wellness tracking and medical-grade careTimestamps:[00:00:27] AI-Powered ECG: From Novelty to Necessity[00:03:28] How Clinicians Are Separating Hype from Reality[00:05:07] Why Near Real-Time Beats Traditional ECG Monitoring[00:08:49] A-Fib and the Global Data Gap[00:11:36] When Good Tech Goes Bad: Early Pacemaker Mistakes[00:13:30] Hospitals, Homes and the Future of Cardiac Care[00:19:59] AI vs Machine Learning: What’s the Real Difference?Get in touch with Mark - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-goddard-035ab427/ Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ Follow Karandeep on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwalSubscribe to the Podcast
