Digital Health Talks: Blood Pressure Control Crisis in Primary Care

Host: Megan Antonelli Guest: Andrew M. Davis, Professor and Associate Vice-Chair for Quality, University of Chicago & Amy Wainwright Join Megan Antonelli and guests Dr. Andrew M. Davis and Amy Wainwright from University of Chicago Medicine as they reveal how AI-powered analysis of 37,000+ patients exposed a crisis hiding in plain sight: nearly 30% of hypertensive patients have dangerously uncontrolled blood pressure despite regular primary care visits. Using cloud-based machine learning across 112 providers, Dr. Davis's team identified critical gaps traditional metrics miss, underutilized medications, missed referrals, and troubling disparities in care. More importantly, they developed interventions that work. Discover how to leverage advanced analytics for measurable ROI, implement real-time clinical intelligence at scale, and empower providers with data-driven feedback that reduces cardiovascular risk at the point of care.
