Description
Wearable digital health technologies (DHTs) offer the potential to affect health care by making behavioral and physiological patterns in daily life outside the clinic and hospital visible to patients and medical professionals.
The foundational elements of remote patient monitoring and wearable technologies are present in cardiovascular practice today and are expected to mature in a manner like that of remote monitoring of pacemakers, defibrillators, and ambulatory ECG. The overall goals are to shift from episodic care to asynchronous and continuous care, minimize burden on patients and caregivers, reduce structural inequities in access to care, and improve efficiency of evidence-based care delivery.
Speakers
Paul Langlois, APN, PhD, CCRN, CCNS
Paul Langlois, APN, PhD, CCRN, CCNS, is a critical care clinical specialist in the surgical, medical, neurologic, burn, CCU, and trauma ICUs of Cook County Hospital, Chicago. Drawing on over 40 years of experience assessing and managing patients with life-threatening diseases, Dr. Langlois provides advanced-level training to nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, respiratory therapists, and physicians.
Dr. Langlois is committed to providing the highest quality of care to patients through advanced education. His presentations are evidence-based, timely, and go beyond content review to sharpen the clinical reasoning underneath it, using illness scripts, anticipatory thinking, and layered case studies to help experienced clinicians reason out loud rather than simply recall answers. As a bedside clinical nurse specialist, he has developed several institution-wide protocols for the multidisciplinary assessment and management of patients.
His presentations are enthusiastically delivered and offer highly practical tips that help make the most challenging concepts easy to understand, from cognitive-bias traps that shape a shift to the SBAR calibration that gets a "come now" call heard the first time. Linking knowledge to clinical practice is the goal of every educational program, and Dr. Langlois builds that link through near-miss scenarios and "what would you do?" cases designed to sharpen judgment, not just test it.
