Global Hypertension Crisis: Why 1.7 Billion People Are at Risk Inequality, Prevention & AI Solutions

About this episode

The episode discusses the global hypertension crisis and its implications on healthcare inequality and prevention strategies.

In this episode of the Lebanese Physicians Podcast, I sit down with hypertension researcher Dr. Farah Allouch to discuss the growing global hypertension epidemic affecting over 1.7 billion people worldwide. We explore the widening healthcare inequality gap between high- and low-income countries, barriers to treatment, prevention strategies, the role of AI and digital health, and why uncontrolled blood pressure is becoming a major driver of cardiovascular disease and dementia. A must-watch conversation for clinicians, public health professionals, and anyone interested in the future of global healthcare. #Hypertension #HighBloodPressure #CardiovascularDisease #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #AIinHealthcare #PreventiveMedicine #HealthcareInequality #LebanesePhysiciansPodcast #Medicine #HeartHealth #DigitalHealth #DementiaPrevention #podcast On Youtube @thelebanesephysicianspodcast On all podcast apps Website: https://thelebanesephysicianspodcast.podbean.com @Tulane @tulaneuniversityschoolofme3851 ​
