Remote monitoring of pacemakers and defibrillators: Effective and safe in Brazil?

“…The way the medical service responds to alerts also has a great impact on outcomes; however, this requires adequate organization and resources in these centers to promote effective and immediate follow up. 24 , 25 , 26 …”

“…This argument is also used by some countries such as Canada, Portugal, and the United States to expand follow-up by RM. 24 , 30 RM published data in South America are scarce, and this study provides relevant information about the use of this form of follow-up in middle-income countries, thus contributing to the debate between medical societies and governments and allowing more patients to have in-home monitoring, especially high-risk groups. 16 …”

Remote Programming of CIED Based On 5G Cloud Follow-up App

“…All parameter adjustments and responses to alarm events in the above studies were accomplished in the clinic follow-up ; (3) CIED programming cannot be carried out in time. The HomeGuide study found that the median time from remote event detection to clinical treatment was 3 days (1-14 days) 30 ; (4) It has been shown that remote monitoring reduces communication between patients and doctors and increases patient anxiety 33 .…”
