from Own Your Heart Health with Dr. Regina Druz · host Dr. Regina Druz
Artificial intelligence is already shaping how people think about heart health, which raises an important question for cardiology: are clinicians ready to use AI in healthcare in ways that genuinely improve care? Dr. Regina Druz is joined by Dr. Sanjeev Bhavnani for a conversation about digital health, medical technology, and the future of healthcare. Together, they look at AI as a present reality in clinical practice and explore how innovation in medicine is changing the relationship between patients, data, and decision-making in preventive cardiology. The discussion examines the rise of data-informed patients, the responsibilities clinicians face as AI tools become more accessible, and why so many approved technologies still struggle to reach everyday practice. What does responsible use really mean, and how do performance and access shape outcomes in heart health? The episode leaves listeners with a new perspective on how AI can support better care when it is integrated thoughtfully, with intention and clinical judgment leading the way.
