Abstract:

Through the pandemic, at-home and on-person monitoring of health has surged.  Widespread adoption has led to improvements in technology, including new ways to assess the progression of chronic conditions.  New biomarkers and home technologies can promote better monitoring of conditions, as well as early signals of new disease.   In this presentation, we will discuss innovations in chronic conditions that increase cardiovascular risk.  We will review some of the forthcoming technology in each condition, and review real-world data where it exists.  We will also discuss the place of these biomarkers in clinical diagnosis and monitoring of chronic conditions, and their implications for future management guidelines.
