The type of monitoring platform used when remotely monitoring patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) can significantly affect patient care.
Non-alert-based platforms regularly collect and transmit data from patients’ devices, which clinicians can review during scheduled check-ups. However, without real-time alerts, this setup requires frequent manual review, which delays identifying critical health events, especially between routine appointments. Non-alert-based platforms may work well for stable patients, but timely intervention can be crucial for those with higher risk factors—and that’s where alert-based platforms excel.
Alert-based platforms, such as Implicity, provide a more responsive and proactive approach to patient monitoring by automatically flagging significant changes in patient conditions in real time. These alerts are immediately sent to healthcare providers, allowing for prompt assessment and action on issues like arrhythmias or device malfunctions. This system prioritizes critical events and ensures clinicians are notified about them without needing to sift through routine data manually. Ultimately, alert-based monitoring offers a higher level of care, enabling clinics to respond faster, reduce emergency hospitalizations, and provide patients with the peace of mind that their health is continuously and actively monitored.
Alert-based monitoring platforms like Implicity enhance patient care by enabling quicker detection and response to critical health events, helping to prevent emergency hospitalizations, and reassuring patients that their health is actively monitored.
