Ultra-Fast Cardiac CT Imaging Transforming Cardiovascular Diagnostics with Doug Ryan Arineta TRANSCRIPT
Empowered Patient Podcast
Doug Ryan, CEO of Arineta, describes the advancements in cardiac CT imaging technology and how their ultra-fast scanning is revealing more accurate and higher-quality imaging of the heart. Using wide-area coverage and deep learning image reconstruction, the Arineta platform can detect arterial occlusions and coronary plaque buildup, which is a significant risk factor for sudden cardiac events and is often missed when relying solely on calcium scoring. The development of a mobile cardiac CT scanning unit is improving access to this technology, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Doug...

info_outlineJeff Bennett, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Modivcare, is addressing and expanding supportive care services to provide transportation, personal care services, and remote patient monitoring. A lack of transportation leads to missed appointments and therapies, necessitating a coordinated approach to support vulnerable populations. Modivcare utilizes remote sensors and AI to enhance human engagement and coordination, and is designed to be both preventative and predictive, keeping patients healthy and out of the hospital.
Jeff explains, "Modivcare works on behalf of health plans, states, and risk-based entities. We provide supportive care services that meet the needs and address the needs of patients. One of those services is transportation, so non-emergency medical transportation. We also provide personal care services, which support members with activities of daily living, like bathing, meal preparation, and such. And then finally, I lead the monitoring organization, which provides services to monitor members or patients at home so they can live and age at home on their own."
"The biggest need, at the top, is that our members have health-related social needs or SDOH needs. They also are living with chronic conditions, so they need supportive care services that not only provides that core service -- so there's the obvious "I need a ride" or "if I press the button because I've fallen and I need 911 to be called if I need an ambulance or my caregiver or family member to come help me." But most importantly, the services that they need are providing an engagement service. Really, what we provide is a supportive care service that drives human connection through cutting-edge technology that drives continuous engagement. They always know that we're here, and we listen to them. We understand their needs and try to address those needs, which could be healthcare-related, social-related, or simply loneliness. So it spans that broad spectrum. And any one of our services, we're delivering that core service, but we're also driving engagement and listening for what else the member needs."
