Faster, Smarter, Virtual Heart Care
Every minute counts in cardiology—but for too many patients, the wait to see a specialist is measured in weeks.
In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, Dr. Jeff Wessler, cardiologist and CEO of Heartbeat Health, shares how his team is transforming heart care with a virtual-first model. By combining telehealth, remote diagnostics, and evidence-based protocols, Heartbeat Health is tackling one of medicine's most urgent challenges: delivering timely, life-saving cardiac care to patients wherever they are.
Dr. Wessler takes us inside the evolution of Heartbeat Health—from its origins in New York to its nationwide impact. He explains how virtual-first cardiology is closing critical access gaps, how remote monitoring and cloud-based "clinics" can prevent emergencies, and why building a culture of innovation and rigorous outcomes tracking has been key to their success.
If you're passionate about digital health, virtual care, or improving patient outcomes, this episode is packed with insights on what it takes to scale a new standard of care.
