ACC’s Dr. Ami Bhatt: AI Pilots Fail Without Implementation Planning

Most FDA-approved cardiovascular AI tools sit unused within three years. Dr. Ami Bhatt, Chief Innovation Officer at the American College of Cardiology, explains why the problem isn't regulatory approval or technical accuracy. It's implementation infrastructure that nobody builds.

In this episode, Dr. Bhatt breaks down her risk stratification framework for AI deployment, why "collaborative intelligence" beats "augmented intelligence," and how to avoid death by a thousand pilots. She shares specific examples from ACC's work with Apple Watch data integration, synthetic data sets from cardiovascular registries, and her three-part evaluation framework for healthcare AI startups.
