Video Summary
The session "Cardiac Arrest, the Next Digital Health Frontier" was hosted by Mina Chung, a cardiac electrophysiologist and vice president of the Heart Rhythm Society. It featured a diverse panel, including Richard Price of PulsePoint, Jennifer Kozen from the FDA, Jill Root, a nurse practitioner, Jake Sunshine from Google, and Sumit Chugh, a clinical electrophysiologist. <br /><br />The discussion focused on the severe issue of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), emphasizing its high mortality rate and the urgent need for improved detection and intervention methods. Innovations presented included PulsePoint, a 911-connected platform that alerts CPR-trained individuals and AED-equipped people nearby when a cardiac arrest occurs. PulsePoint is deployed in over 5,100 communities and notifies around 600-700 responders daily.<br /><br />Jake Sunshine spoke about Google's recent innovation, a Pixel watch in Europe capable of detecting pulselessness, leveraging multiple algorithmic gates to ensure accuracy and minimize false positives. The challenge remains in integrating such technologies with EMS systems while ensuring reliability and patient safety. Jennifer Kozen highlighted the importance of addressing intended use, labeling, cybersecurity, and usability testing in FDA evaluations.<br /><br />The panelists also discussed the importance of balancing innovation with accessibility, aiming for affordable solutions like inexpensive AEDs and wearables. The conversation extended to potential future developments, emphasizing collaborative efforts between institutions, regulatory bodies, and tech innovators to effectively address SCA and enhance survival rates. The session concluded with a call to action for further innovation and cooperation within the HRX community.
