The Smoke Detector on Your Wrist: Cardiac Wearables and the Future of Heart Care

About this episode

Dr. Adam Brockman and Dr. Dave Heitmann discuss the advancements in cardiac wearables and their implications for heart care.

Dr. Adam Brockman sits down with functional medicine and wellness-tech expert Dr. Dave Heitmann to unpack a landmark shift in cardiovascular care — from a $10 billion acquisition reshaping the wearable- tech landscape to an FDA-cleared wrist device tracking your heart's every beat and movement in real time. They break down what continuous cardiac monitoring actually means for the "normal lab lie" how AI is reshaping who interprets your health data, and what it could mean for the millions of Americans one heartbeat away from a warning sign they'd otherwise never catch in time.
