Privacy with these smartphone apps remains an issue. Although, 2-factor authentification is in place, many people may feel uneasy about data collection practices associated with their health. (3/3) #biom4180
Smartphone apps can now constantly monitor a patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and weight. These statistics can be uploaded to a cloud accessible by their cardiologist (1/3) #biom4180 https://t.co/qXNm9izJlO
Dr. Ross, a Toronto Cardiologist, says that our smartphones can be used as alert systems to better treat emergency situations. More than 50,000 Canadians are diagnosed with heart failure every year (2/3) #biom4180
An 11-year Norwegian study confirmed what we learned in class today, that mental health and heart healthh are connected, they found that indivduals suffering from depression have a 40% increased risk of developing heart failure! #biom4180 https://t.co/BEL21EW4RI
@CassfCollins That's really interesting. I was looking up bone cancer statistics and found that primary bone cancer is pretty rare. Which makes sense now since bone is also made of connective tissue. #BIOM4180
Fatal heart attacks have fallen to historic lows in the United States. Researchers think that lifestyle interventions may have contributed to these statistics #biom4180

Although it isn't entirely surprising, it's no less tragic. Repeat heart attacks & early deaths are linked to hospitals with 'low care' scores. We need to have a serious conversation about baseline hospital standards. #biom4180

@jade_marrow96 Great find Jade! I wanted to add that there are also dangerous short term effects of smoke inhalation such as arrhythmias or cardiac arrest (RIP Jack) #ThisIsUs#biom4180
@FengCardio Nice find! It's refreshing to know that something as simple as sipping green tea can be good for your cardiovascular health. I know what I'm getting at Timmies next time. #biom4180
A discussion worth having in Canada as well. My personal recommendation would be offering low-calorie drinks in popular food establishments. I know an 'On Route' Tim Hortons that provides this option. #BIOM4180
@hannahcardio That's actually tragic :/ One possible intervention could be having a dedicated healthcare professional in public schools for victims of child abuse (in all forms) to talk to. #biom4180
