Description: AI, Wearables & Heart Health: Dr. Ami Bhatt on Personalized Prevention and Digital MedicineHost Dian Griesel aka @SilverDisobedience interviews Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology and chair of the FDA’s Digital Health Advisory Committee, about how AI and digital health can improve heart health. Dr. Bhatt explains why cardiology is well-suited to use AI due to its long history with data, imaging, and remote monitoring, and notes rising heart disease burden alongside a shrinking cardiology workforce. They discuss prevention, patient agency, and the role of wearables, emphasizing baselines, trends vs. “blips,” and managing health anxiety. Bhatt describes AI’s potential in ECG insights, cautions about limitations of large language models, and highlights promising innovation areas: drug/device discovery, agentic closed-loop systems for population health, and voice AI for post-discharge follow-up with clinician “rescue” pathways. Together, the interview further explores why fewer people enter medicine and the importance of the art and humanity of care.Follow Dr. Ami Bhatt here on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dramibhatt/Please SUBSCRIBE!I’m Dian Griesel and in November of 2017 I began blogging as @SilverDisobedience on my website and @SilverDisobedience on ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ and @DianGriesel ⁠X⁠ Career-wise, I am a perception analyst, counselor, hypnotherapist, author of 16 books and a Wilhelmina model.
