How can wearables warn you before a stroke?—with Dr. Sanjay Juneja

What started with a rabbit heart in a physiology lab led to a career focused on preventing strokes through early detection of atrial fibrillation. A Stanford cardiologist shares how that moment sparked a lifelong interest in cardiac rhythms and how today’s wearables can now detect AFib through simple, continuous monitoring, long before symptoms appear.
This shift from reactive care to early detection marks a major step forward in heart health, powered by straightforward algorithms and a growing role for AI in predicting cardiovascular risk.
