Episode Synopsis
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Mark Hanson co-founded Heartbeat Health to make heart care more consistent and to ensure the patient gets the care when they need it, wherever they are. By transforming how heart care is delivered through technology, the Heartbeat Health team is accelerating access to quality cardiovascular care and improving patient outcomes. In this episode of Biomedical Frontiers, we explore how telemedicine can be a solution to improving quality of care while also reducing cost and dive into how the healthcare industry is changing as more and more providers and insurers are adopting a value based care approach. Mark Hanson is a co-founder, advisor, and former Chief Product and AI Officer at Heartbeat Health, a venture-backed healthcare technology startup focused on delivering tech-enabled cardiovascular care at scale, nationwide. Before starting Heartbeat Health, Mark also founded BeClose, a digital health company that utilized IoT devices and AI-powered services to promote healthy independent living at home, which was merged into Alarm.com, where he served as the head of platforms and health innovations during their IPO. He is a long-time board member of the University of Virginia's School of Engineering and Applied Science Entrepreneurship Advisory Board, an Adjunct Associate Professor at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and an angel investor and advisor to numerous health tech startups.Follow Dr. Mark Hanson on Social MediaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markhanson/X: https://x.com/mark_hanson Learn more about Heartbeat Health: https://www.heartbeathealth.com/Read the summary of “Impact of a Virtual Cardiology Program for Post-Discharge Patients with Cardiovascular Disease: A Randomized Clinical Trial:” https://www.heartbeathealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ACC23-3-pager.pdfDirector & Host: Dasha Tyshlek, StratCraft, Inc. www.strat-craft.comExecutive Producer: David Chen, Managing Director & Instructor of Engineering Design, UVASenior Producer: Hannah Moore, Associate Director, UVA CoulterDesign Director: Carolyn Wagner, Inc. & Link: carolynwagnerinc.comProduced on behalf of Wallace H.
