Heart Association Launches Digital Health Certification for Telehealth Era

American Heart Association launches Digital Health in Cardiac Care certification to train healthcare providers in telehealth tools, remote monitoring, and digital cardiac care management for chronic conditions.

This certification program addresses a critical gap in healthcare education as telehealth becomes increasingly prevalent. With cardiovascular disease remaining a leading cause of death worldwide and remote monitoring technologies becoming more sophisticated, properly trained healthcare professionals are essential for ensuring patients receive quality care through digital channels. The standardization of digital health expertise helps prevent medical errors, improves patient outcomes through better self-management and earlier detection of issues, and ensures that the rapid adoption of telehealth doesn't compromise care quality. For the millions of Americans living with chronic heart conditions, this means more confident, effective management of their health through technology they can use in their daily lives.
