I can't find the acronym. Is it in the video? Because I'm not watching a video.

I think this is the title (I had to web-search) https://www.usc.edu/CSSF/Current/Projects/33084.pdf

"EMIT: Does iPad Use in Patients with Implantable Cardiac Rhythm Devices Cause Electromagnetic Interference?"

(EMIT looks intended to be an acronym, but what do the letters stand for?)

As I commented above, this is usual practice for cardiology publications. And her dad is a cardiology subspecialist.

At a guess, "Electro Magnetic Interference Test".
