AdventHealth Adds AI Technology Tool
AdventHealth has introduced a new technology powered by artificial intelligence to improve heart health care in Flagler County, according to a media release.
The new tool, called CathWorks, is enhancing the way doctors at AdventHealth Palm Coast and AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway detect and treat heart blockages, making procedures safer and more precise for patients, the release states. CathWorks uses advanced computer-based software to help cardiologists accurately pinpoint areas of concern within the heart’s arteries.
“This technology helps us identify which blockages need to be treated more effectively,” said, Dr. Dean Abtahi, an interventional cardiologist at AdventHealth, in the release. “It’s a big step forward in ensuring patients get the best possible care.”
Since its launch in May 2024, CathWorks has been used in about 80% of eligible cases in Flagler County: 85 cases at AdventHealth Palm Coast and an additional 10 procedures at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway – and it is coming soon to other AdventHealth locations. AdventHealth Fish Memorial in Orange City is the latest AdventHealth facility to incorporate this new technology, the release states.
