In this episode our MSL co-hosts Dalila Masic, PharmD and Michael McMillan, PharmD have a discussion with Kamala Tamirisa, MD, FACC, FHRS on how to overcome disparities associated with technology in the atrial fibrillation space. Could digital technologies improve health inequalities by making information and expertise more scalable and widely available? Or will they perpetuate or even worsen these widespread differences? Dr. Tamirisa identifies the challenges and opportunities of technology when caring for patients with atrial fibrillation. We conclude the episode with tangible actions our listeners can use to narrow the gap on healthcare disparities related to technology.
