Our Work
Research in the Electrophysiology and Digital Health Section includes use of prospective data collection and secondary dataset analysis, combined with advanced statistical methods, to address key questions related to cardiac device therapies, remote monitoring, and digital health. Our work focuses on improving clinical outcomes for patients with arrhythmias, advancing the ethical and regulatory frameworks surrounding cardiac devices, and exploring the role of digital health in modern care delivery.
