This is where the work of Ken Perez, a healthcare marketing, strategy, and policy consultant, comes in. Join us to hear about his opinions on the possible overvaluation in the digital health area, how artificial intelligence should be applied with the most recent data in mind, and how the applications of digital health intersect with reduction of healthcare costs.

A New Perspective on Telemedicine
Since the COVID pandemic hit, the healthcare industry seemed to share a sentiment as a whole about telemedicine: it was the best possible alternative when the patients couldn't come in for a physical, in person visit, the latter of which is the gold standard of care. But Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology, is trying to change this sentiment. Join us in a riveting episode where we discuss what telemedicine looked like before 2020, how it is actually a superior choice of treatment for chronic care and meeting patients' unique needs, and the need for proper infrastructure in scheduling and data management to make sure it is done successfully.
