Abstract
Remote patient management is a proven strategy that enables the management of implantable cardiac devices by providing a solution that is patient-centric, consumption-sensitive, and one that contributes to health status improvement. As patients become more “connected” and as care becomes increasingly less centralized, remote management of patients with cardiac devices delivers today on the promise of a true health information ecosystem: one that promotes continuity of care and population health management.
Leading the way in this field has been St. Jude Medical, which is creating both product and process innovation to facilitate patient compliance for remote patient management.
