Cardiovascular disease is currently the leading cause of death worldwide. It is also a major burden on healthcare systems, costing billions every year. A wide range of technologies have been developed to tackle the disease at various stages of progression. 

The overall goal is to detect the disease sooner and provide a suitable treatment while utilising healthcare resources efficiently and maintaining a positive patient experience.

This webinar highlights emerging technologies for diagnosis, remote monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. It is based on IDTechEx's market research report Cardiovascular Disease 2020-2030, published in November 2019 which was segmented into three chapters to cover topics related to the detection, monitoring and treatment of CVD.

The main technologies for detection of CVD are artificial intelligence (AI) in cardiovascular imaging and in vitro diagnostics (IVD) at point-of-care (POC). AI in imaging is discussed rather than imaging in general because the imaging technologies available today have not evolved greatly for a number of years. It is the integration of AI into these systems that represents the current innovations of interest. The IVD section explores the four main types of IVD POC tests: lab-on-a-chip (LOAC), electrochemical test strips, lateral flow assays (LFAs) and molecular diagnostics (MDx).

The monitoring chapter discusses emerging technologies in remote patient monitoring (RPM). Wearables - such as skin patches, accessories and smart clothing - are the primary topic as most innovations are made in this field. Some non-wearable technology is also highlighted.

Current trends in the treatment of CVD revolve around cardiac rhythm management and cardiovascular tissue generation. The treatments chapter thus mainly covers devices for cardiac rhythm management & heart failure and tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. 

This webinar was originally broadcast in January 2020.

Please note that due to COVID-19, 2020 event details may have changed.
