Our review on Digital Health in Heart Failure published by @radcliffeCARDIO @ProfMartinCowie. Open Access!
We discuss telemedicine, remote monitoring, apps and wearables and machine learning
cfrjournal.com/articles/digi…
Proud to be part of a brilliant event with @HaberdashersCo and @BartsHospital inspiring the next generation for careers in healthcare, wouldn't have been possible without our amazing colleagues!
For example, we were lucky to have @iceman_ex blowing the kids away in his workshop, never seen kids so excited about medical ethics!
Delighted to publish a new paper with @ProfMartinCowie in @BioMedCentral @HSRatBMC on heart failure patient and clinician experiences with telemedicine - open access! rdcu.be/djdBn
We interviewed patients and clinicians at @RBandH who used telemedicine for HF appts, and found that telemed appts impacted time utilisation, clinical assessment, and communication amongst other things. We advocate a hybrid model tailored to individuals rdcu.be/djdBn
This whole Malhotra BBC episode demonstrates once again how science journalists are terrible at differentiating charlatans from actual subject matter experts
Prof Marc Dweck, chair of cardiology at the University of Edinburgh, on Malhotra: “I would strongly urge patients to disregard his comments, which seem to be more concerned with furthering his profile (he does not have a cardiology career to speak of)”

Question: Can a viral AI chatbot generate "NHS improvement lessons" indistinguishable from the real thing?
Answer: No, the AI's are way better.
There's a buzz within the NHS improvement community about these "6 improvement lessons to apply as winter pressures bite". It's about applying systems thinking & improvement to big challenges, not short term fixes: nhsconfed.org/long-reads/six… TY @PennyPereira1 @DrAmarShah #QITwitter
Great discussion on digital technologies for AF detection, remote monitoring of HF and managing the tsunami of data with @LambiasePier, @SophiaJohn69, @lisneubeck and @ProfMartinCowie for @heartrhythmcong #HRC2021

4 priorities for winter:
• Vaccination - COVID-19 & flu
• Support self-isolation for COVID19
• Boost capacity in the NHS
• Provide clear guidance about environmental and behavioural precautions that individuals and organisations can take
“Had this been a normal year without COVID, it’d be difficult but I think we’d cope. But we've got an NHS that’s exhausted. We're short of 84,000 staff. We do not want a massive wave of other viruses.” Prof Sir Stephen Holgate, Chair of our new report

Really good thread pointing out the problems with the BMJ piece against adolescent vaccination
There are still barriers to overcome, but nonetheless it's an exciting time for Digital Health in Heart Failure. I hope it's informative!

As a result of the #COVID19 pandemic, the use of #digitalhealth technologies for #heartfailure management has rapidly increased.
Singhal et al. review how wearables can support patient care and improve outcomes 👉 bit.ly/2S2BzHb #CFRJournal #HealthTech @ProfMartinCowie

I talk a lot about Wales' ability to get ahead on administering vaccine doses, despite being allocated the same supply as the rest of the UK.
No change today.
I *think* Wales made an important decision in mid-Feb that set things up for today.
Warning: Speculation ahead. (1/9)

The UK's policy of not vaccinating vs chickenpox feels like a textbook example of cheems mindset:
1. Penny-pinching approach that ignores second-order costs
2. Ignoring other countries that somehow to make it work
3. Galaxy-brain rationale for why inaction is actually good
Will the UK join the club of countries vaccinating against chicken pox at last?!
I for one certainly hope so!

in which I try to impart just how urgent it is that the West gets its spare vaccines to India (and starts making more vaccines to get ready for wherever the next India is) unherd.com/2021/04/india-nee…
