    HRX NeXt Episode 10: A Conversation About Going Beyond the Ablation: Building a Smarter EP Workflow

    In this episode, Dr. David DeLurgio, Dr. Ambrose Panico, and Dr. Stanislav Weiner explore the innovations and workflow advancements shaping the future of electrophysiology. Drawing from real-world clinical experience, they discuss emerging technologies designed to improve procedural efficiency, enhance operator control, and support more consistent outcomes in the EP lab. The conversation examines the factors that drive adoption of new devices and workflows, including safety, reliability, reproducibility, and economic value. From transseptal access and catheter navigation to broader considerations around workflow optimization, the experts share practical insights into how meaningful innovation can help clinicians deliver high-quality care while improving efficiency in everyday practice. This episode is powered by Synaptic Medical: Synaptic is an innovative medical technology company dedicated to advancing electrophysiology through a growing portfolio of thoughtfully designed solutions, including the AccuSafe transseptal guidewire, Navigo™ steerable sheath, RithmID CS catheter, and more. By working alongside physicians and healthcare partners, we aim to enhance procedural safety and efficiency, improve patient outcomes, and deliver meaningful clinical and economic value. Our mission is to help shape the future of EP with innovations that benefit patients, providers, and the broader healthcare system.  Article Authors and Podcast Contributors Podcast Contributors: David Delurgio, MD | Emory Healthcare Ambrose F Panico, DO | Cardiovascular Associates of Mesa Stanislav Weiner, MD | CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital Listen on: HRX Innovation Hub Spotify Apple Podcasts iHeartRadio

    HRX NeXt Episode 7: A Conversation About Managing Data Overload: AI, Wearables, and Apps

    In this episode, Dr. Peter Noseworthy, Dr. Christopher C. Cheung, and Dr. G. Stuart Mendenhall explore how wearable medical devices, health apps, and other digital health tools are transforming care while also creating a growing challenge of data overload for clinicians and health systems. The conversation will focus on how unprecedented volumes of patient-generated data raise concerns around accuracy, validation, and equity, and how poorly managed data streams can contribute to alert fatigue and inefficiency rather than better care. Panelists will discuss the need for robust standards to vet consumer-grade devices, as well as strategies for aggregating and prioritizing data from disparate sources using interoperability frameworks and AI-enabled triage. The episode will also examine why human oversight remains essential in managing data overload, particularly for interpreting edge cases and aligning insights with patient preferences. Ultimately, the discussion will highlight practical approaches for turning overwhelming amounts of digital health data into actionable, clinically meaningful information that improves outcomes.
