Heart failure care is entering a new era - one defined not by singular devices, but by integrated systems of technology working together. In this episode of The Heart Failure Beat, hosts Michael Beasley, MD, and Priya Umapathi, MD, are joined by Laura Peters, DNP, to discuss a new scientific statement on Integrated Healthcare Technologies in Heart Failure, jointly published by the Heart Failure Society of America and the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses.  

Dr. Peters explains how this statement helps shift focus from siloed technologies to focus on systems-level care, actionable clinician feedback, and multidisciplinary workflows. The conversation explores patient adherence, digital equity, wearable versus implantable devices, cost-effectiveness, rural access, and the growing role of AI in reducing clinician burden while improving outcomes. 

This episode offers practical insights for clinicians navigating the rapidly evolving digital health landscape in heart failure care.
