Kenneth Civello, MD, MPH, is a clinical cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital. His work focuses on cardiovascular disease and heart rhythm disorders, emphasizing risk detection, remote monitoring, and using AI and wearable technology to extend care beyond the clinic. His research centers on digital health tools, remote physiologic monitoring programs, and AI platforms that convert continuous patient data into actionable clinical insight.
The challenge is determining whether wearable data is reliable enough to relieve the review burden, guide care, support reimbursement, or reassure a patient who is worried about their heart rhythm at two o’clock in the morning.
