How Virtual Monitoring Can Transform Patients’ Care

The advancement of innovations and technology in different sectors has made it easier to access information on almost anything you can think of. The healthcare sector in particular has experienced various changes, with medical technology reshaping healthcare, leading to the evolution of patient care and management. These advances in healthcare technology have made it possible for patients to connect with their physicians at any time, which has redefined the patient-physician connection.

The role of remote monitoring in healthcare has also been highlighted with the advancement of medical technology, especially in the early detection and treatment of cardiovascular ailments. Today, we look at how remote monitoring can make the lives of patients with cardiovascular ailments easier and better.

What’s remote monitoring technology?

Remote heart/cardiac monitoring technology is a technology that collects data from the implanted rhythm-management devices in patients and transmits it directly to their physicians for review.

This tool facilitates off-site rhythm management and uses a transmitter, which syncs with the implanted device, gathering data about activities such as the rhythm and rate of their heart. After data has been gathered, the transmitter sends it to the patient’s electrophysiologist via a secure website for evaluation.

Devices that detect irregular heartbeats and monitor a patient’s heart rhythm are known as implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. These devices deliver electric shocks to the patient’s heart muscle, amending the heart rhythm’s abnormalities, which are scientifically known as arrhythmias.

Advances in science and technology have also made it possible for these devices to use Bluetooth technology, which allows patients to connect them to their smartphones.

Patients with cardiovascular diseases are in some cases fitted with a CRT-D device, which has been designed for patients with heart failure who have an elevated risk for sudden cardiac death. This device sends electrical impulses to the heart’s ventricles, helping the muscles to contract, which in turn allows the heart to pump blood better.

A few benefits of remote monitoring include:

• This technology affords the physician and the patient flexibility to provide and seek medical consultation at anytime, from anywhere. This is in addition to equipping physicians with accurate and reliable data for correct diagnosis and treatment.
• Remote monitoring technology has also improved the efficiency and timing of health care, which not only improves patient outcomes and quality of life but also saves a lot of costs that may have been incurred with inaccurate diagnoses.
• The technology also decreases the time taken to detect abnormalities, which in turn increases the patient survival rate.
