Solutions for remote data tracking, analysis, and seamless, secure connections with healthcare providers
CareLink Express™ Mobile
Enable distancing during in-clinic follow up with Carelink Express™ Mobile. Carelink Express™ Mobile decouples a patient device interrogation from the data interpretation, moving data quickly and offering you flexibility without the need for a device clinician to be on-site.
Needs addressed:
First internet-based remote monitoring system that helps enable data-driven care decisions for patients with Medtronic implantable cardiac devices.
Medtronic CareLink™ remote monitoring connects cardiac device patients to their care team wherever the patient may be.
Remote Monitoring not only is a convenient and efficient way to manage patients, but it has been shown to improve patient outcomes, detect clinically actionable events more quickly than traditionally followed patients and reduce Emergency Department/Urgent In-Office visits in HF patients2-11. State-of-the art technologies ensure portability and ease of use for patients and clinicians. Additionally, new app-based monitoring solutions allow for patient engagement by offering patients the opportunity to be motivated to engage in healthier behaviours.
Improves patient compliance compared to traditional office-based care2
Detects clinically actionable events (CAEs) in high power wireless devices 79% faster than traditionally followed patients1
Allows for 18% reduction in Emergency Department/ urgent in-office visits in HF patients7
Has shown a greater than 50% increase in survival9,10
Decreased the number of patients lost to follow-up1
Detects CAEs in pacemakers more quickly than traditionally followed patients1
Takes 58% less clinician time to perform a remote check than an in-office check8

FocusOn™ Patient Monitoring and Triaging Service
Monitoring and triaging service designed to help healthcare professionals save time spent in reviewing transmissions whilst enabling better outcomes.
FocusOn™ service is built around a highly skilled team of certified ECG and cardiac device specialists supervised by Cardiologists, that classifies transmitted patient data based on agreed protocol and promptly notifies the physician, allowing efficient and effective patient treatment.
Increased efficiency
Improved quality
FocusOn™ frees up time
Less time spent on reviewing non- actionable data means more time for other relevant activities.
FocusOn™ expands access
Prioritized and proactive communication frees up resources, so more patients can be seen and treated.
FocusOn™ enables better outcomes
Clinically relevant transmissions are triaged and escalated promptly to hospital Clinical Teams, allowing patients requiring treatment to be prioritized and treated in a timely manner.
The continuous FocusOn™ process
The FocusOn™ service is built around a highly skilled team that classifies transmitted patient data based on agreed protocol and promptly notifies the physician, allowing efficient and effective patient treatment.
Highlight data that requires clinical action
