Cardiac care is undergoing a significant transformation, fueled by the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), advanced analytics, and connected medical devices. This evolution is especially apparent in two critical areas of cardiovascular medicine: arrhythmia detection through remote electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring and predictive analytics to optimize perioperative outcomes. From early diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AFib) in outpatient settings to reducing postoperative complications in the surgical suite, these technologies are reshaping the standard of care. This article explores how AI ECG interpretation and data analytics are converging to improve clinical decision-making, patient outcomes, and healthcare operations, drawing on insights from both clinicians and industry experts.

Game-design elements have provided a sense of motivation and encouragement to many sectors of the healthcare industry, from individual user benefit to mass-campaigning from public health organizations. The gamification of healthcare has been transformative for patient motivation, especially when considering the doctor-patient-administrator relationship. Public health campaigns utilize gamification as a powerful strategy to promote healthy habits, such as mobile programming to encourage vaccinations, as well as online games to maintain hand hygiene. Through investigating both intrinsic and extrinsic behavior, this paper explores how gamification strategies are used throughout healthcare when considering the individual, as well as a population. This paper concludes with an emphasis on the importance of ensuring protective measures are talent to maintain data privacy, as well as inclusivity within socioeconomic statuses are integral to the success of gamification strategies, in order to combat concerns about the ethical concerns that may arise.
