About the session

Tony Young, National Clinical Lead for Innovation, NHS England
About the session
Atrial fibrillation (AF) care pathways often have gaps in follow-up, symptom monitoring, and detection of recurrent arrhythmia, after patients leave the hospital. We have implemented digital home monitoring as part of our AF care pathways following cardioversion and ablation.
In this session, we will share our experience and wish to discuss ideas on how to scale and improve digital follow-up for all AF patients, and explore how similar models could be applied to other cardiac conditions.
Trygve Berge, Consultant in Cardiology and Senior Researcher, Vestre Viken Hospital Trust
About the session
- Patient-driven care, therapy and follow up (home-based injections, app-driven communication with hospital, self-monitoring/biological sampling) – benefit also for home care providers and hospital staff
- AI-driven automatic registries; pooling of AI-assisted data extraction from medical journals (home care/GP and hospital), paving the way for clinical research and improved care
- AI assisted decision of eligibility for screening programs and clinical trials (based on data from GP or hospital)
Odd Terje Brustugun, MD PhD, Head of Cancer Section, Drammen hospital, professor University of Oslo, and Siri Bråthen, MSc, project coordinator
