Video Summary

This panel discussed whether AI is “ready” in cardiac monitoring and electrophysiology. Most panelists agreed AI is already being used in practical ways, such as AI scribes, remote monitoring triage, and device interpretation, but emphasized that humans must remain in the loop for oversight, validation, and patient communication. A major theme was interoperability: device data, EHRs, and registries still do not connect well, and many devices are not remotely connected. Panelists said AI could help standardize, sort, and surface the most actionable information while preserving access to raw data.<br /><br />They also stressed the need for better and broader data sets, especially for pediatrics, women, underserved populations, and other groups underrepresented in current algorithms. Research priorities included improving alert management, validating algorithms, combining data across centers, and exploring whether AI can improve actual outcomes rather than just efficiency. Trust, transparency, and responsible use of patient data were recurring concerns.<br /><br />In the EP lab, AI and integrated platforms were seen as helping reduce procedure time and streamline workflows, though bottlenecks like anesthesia and total throughput remain. The panel concluded that AI’s near-term value is improving efficiency and connectivity, while the next frontier is using better data to raise the quality of care.
