The future of cardiovascular care will be transformed by advances in artificial intelligence, digital health technology, and mobile as a means to prevent and treat heart disease, according to several review articles published in a Journal of the American College of Cardiology Focus Seminar on the Future Technology of Cardiovascular Care. As the type and breadth of data available to cardiologists and the cardiovascular care team continues to grow more sophisticated, physicians are increasingly being asked to provide more rapid and personalized interpretations of data to their patients. "Artificial intelligence has clear potential to enhance every stage of patient care—from research and discovery, to diagnosis, to selection of therapy," said Joel Dudley, PhD, executive vice president for precision health at the Mount Sinai Health System. "A key next step to incorporating artificial intelligence into cardiology is to align available data and technologies with clinical and business use. This way, we can prioritize short-term opportunities and understand gaps in available data or algorithms that are holding back applications of artificial intelligence in areas of high clinical need."
