Blood Pressure Control Crisis in Primary Care: New AI Study Reveals What's Going Wrong

Blood Pressure Control Crisis in Primary Care: New AI Study Reveals What's Going Wrong

Author: HealthIMPACT Live December 30, 2025 Duration: 39:29

Join us as Dr. Andrew M. Davis and Amy Wainwright from University of Chicago Medicine reveals 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.
