Video Transcription

Video Summary

The HRX Innovation Partner webinar, powered by Viz AI, explored the brain-heart connection and its impact on AFib care, particularly post-stroke. Led by Dr. Mehek Dhande, the discussion featured Dr. An Bui and Dr. DJ Lakharedi. They highlighted challenges in managing cryptogenic stroke patients, emphasizing the need for streamlined workflows and collaboration between neurology and cardiology.<br /><br />Dr. Bui noted gaps due to variations in neurology-driven care and the availability of ambulatory monitors like implantable loop recorders (ILRs). Dr. Lakharedi stressed the importance of long-term monitoring to improve patient outcomes, citing evidence from the CRYSTAL-AF study. He advocated for better communication between subspecialties to eliminate siloed practices that hinder care coordination.<br /><br />The conversation highlighted the role of technology, like Viz AI, in improving interdisciplinary communication and care pathways. Dr. Bui shared how their system integrates neurological and cardiac care, using AI to streamline consultations and enhance follow-up processes. Dr. Lakharedi emphasized the need to measure the clinical and economic impact of such tools to drive systematic improvements.<br /><br />Both speakers agreed on the potential role of AI in preventative care, advocating for its responsible integration while maintaining the art of medicine. They also underscored the importance of sharing value and rewarding healthcare teams for improving patient outcomes.<br /><br />In conclusion, the webinar called for leveraging AI and data-driven approaches to enhance care coordination, patient engagement, and ultimately, patient outcomes in AFib care.
