Biography
Dr. Marco Perez, an Associate Professor at Stanford University, focuses on understanding the causes of cardiovascular disease and the role of digital health technologies in improving cardiovascular health. He has been involved in landmark studies, including the Women’s Health Initiative and the Apple Heart Study, which validated smartwatch detection of atrial fibrillation. Currently, he serves as the Principal Investigator of the Central Coordinating Centre for the REACT-AF clinical trial, which explores a “pill-in-the-pocket” anticoagulation approach for atrial fibrillation using smartwatches.
Abstract
The availability of digital tools in medicine is expanding rapidly. More than ever before, we have access to large datasets and machine learning tools that can help us decipher this data. In addition, our patients are being monitored nearly continuously with consumer devices that are connected and available to us as a tool for research and health care delivery. We will discuss our experience with how we are using these tools in clinical trials, what we can learn from these studies and where we need to go next to make the most significant impact.
About Clinical Talks
Clinical Talks returns with a new season!
After seven successful seasons and over seventy dedicated speakers, we are excited to continue showcasing the contributions of our diverse clinical, academic, and industry life science community. This season will feature ten insightful talks following our well-established format.
The overarching theme is “How to Achieve Feasible Implementation.” Sessions will be heldmonthly on Fridays from 09:00 a.m. to 09:30 a.m. via Zoom, with occasional exceptions. Each talk will be followed by an engaging Q&A session, moderated by standing host Rikard Fred and a guest moderator with subject matter expertise to enrich the discussion.
In today’s rapidly evolving post-pandemic landscape, exploring how academic, clinical, and industry research, combined with technological advancements, can drive practical and sustainable solutions is crucial. Join us for an opportunity to gain fresh insights, expand your knowledge, and connect with experts shaping the future of Life Sciences!
Clinical Talks are organised by SciLifeLab.
