BIOTRONIK is releasing in the U.S. its CardioMessenger Smart device for connecting patients’ implanted pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and insertable cardiac monitors to the firm’s Home Monitoring system. From there, cardiologists are able to view any events that they are interested in seeing and can create customized alerts as well. Dangerous events are sent over immediately to the cardiologist, while everything else is updated on a daily basis.
The CardioMessenger Smart is about the size of a common smartphone and uses GSM cellular connectivity to pass data from a cardiac implant to the internet and onto the Home Monitoring platform. It’s fully automatic, so as long as the patient has it nearby, the data will magically sync all on its own.
