Self-driving cars were "popping wheelies" on the Las Vegas strip and low-flying drones were overhead. But the real buzz of the massive 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) last month was inside – where the focus was advances in the digital health space.

The ACC collaborated with the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which runs CES, to co-lead a featured track called Disruptive Innovations in Health Care. Importantly, the field of digital health technology has reached the point where collaboration with clinically focused organizations with the structure to evaluate and disseminate technology is needed to take digital health tech from novel to actionable.

ACC leaders Dipti Itchhaporia, MD, FACC, and Thomas Maddox, MD, MSc, FACC, were among the featured panelists, while ACC's Chief Innovation Officer and Chief Science and Quality Officer John S. Rumsfeld, MD, PhD, FACC, introduced the conference track with a call to action. Read more about the conference.
