About this episode

Omar Khateeb interviews Chris Darland about the advancements in cardiac intelligence and the shift towards early detection in cardiology.

In this episode, Omar Khateeb speaks with Chris Darland, President & CEO of Peerbridge Health , about the future of AI driven cardiac intelligence and preventive heart care. Peerbridge Health is building a platform designed to move cardiology from reactive intervention toward earlier detection through wearable ECG technology, software intelligence, and high fidelity cardiac data.Chris explains how most monitoring systems today focus mainly on arrhythmia detection, while Peerbridge is building toward a broader intelligence layer capable of identifying myocardial stress, structural defects, sleep related issues, and cardiac deterioration much earlier. The discussion also explores AI defensibility in MedTech, why proprietary data matters, how health systems could use intelligent triage tools to route patients faster, and why the future of cardiology may depend on scalable preventive infrastructure.
