Remote Monitoring

Remote cardiac monitoring technologies enable patient health to be tracked outside the clinical setting. It can be used for longer term monitoring to help diagnosis arrhythmias or other cardiac conditions. Remote monitoring also can keep tabs on chronic conditions such as heart failure or hypertension and alert clinicians to worsening symptoms to avoid an acute care episode or hospitalization.

Cuffless blood pressure measurement devices: Convenient, but not ready for clinical use
Cuffless BP measurements could potentially provide significant value for clinicians and patients alike. It is still too early, however, for these technologies to be used in a clinical setting; too many unanswered questions remain.
Duke specialists to detail the benefits of treating heart failure with Barostim
Specialists with Duke University Medical System will participate in a free webinar focused on their experience treating heart failure with the implantable Barostim technology from CVRx.
FDA approves new AI-enabled wearable cardioverter defibrillator
The newly approved device can be worn for up to a week at a time, with no daily maintenance required, and includes advanced AI algorithms that minimize the risk of false alarms or inappropriate shocks.
Cleveland Clinic completes world's first remotely assisted HIFU procedure for prostate cancer
Providers are hopeful their work will further advance the use of such procedures in areas where patients face barriers to accessing cancer care.
Implantable IVC sensor shows early potential to guide heart failure management
The goal is to measure changes in a patient’s IVC area and collapsibility, which can help anticipate when heart failure events might occur. This first-in-human study included data from the first 50 patients to receive the device.

Unreliable? 76% of world’s blood pressure monitors have not been validated

Tracking false-positive alerts among cardiac patients

“The findings of this study highlight the need for strategies to reduce and manage the burden of false-positive ILR alerts,” the researchers said.

Monitoring high-risk patients for AFib fails to reduce stroke risk

"These findings might imply that not all AFib is worth screening for, and not all screen-detected AFib merits anticoagulation," researchers wrote.
