Raise the Line

A Medical Device Pioneer Discusses Remote Possibilities – Dr. David Albert, Founder of AliveCor


Listen Later

A new generation of medical technology has produced endless new rivers of biometric data, and attuned regular people to their own health in new and complicated ways. On today’s episode of Raise the Line, we turn to a pioneer in connected medical devices, Dr. David Albert, to understand more about these influential trends. He founded AliveCor, whose smartphone-enabled heart monitors anticipated the remote monitoring technology that helped the medical system run during the pandemic. Dr. Albert believes the technology -- and the population-scale data it produces -- opens up new possibilities for preventative medicine and, as he tells host Shiv Gaglani, allows patients to be increasingly fluent in the dynamics of their personal health and empowered to take control of their medical future. Check out this lively discussion to hear about a “mobile-first” medical future, Dr. Albert’s early forays into inventing medical technology, and how college wrestling prepared him for healthy aging.
