Implicity Simplifies In-Clinic Cardiac RPM Workflows with New InLink Solution

Implicity Simplifies In-Clinic Cardiac RPM Workflows with New InLink Solution In-clinic tool automatically and securely links manufacturer programmers with Implicity’s data management solution for faster, more efficient remote monitoring workflows Cambridge, Mass., April 18, 2023 – Implicity, a leader in remote patient monitoring and cardiac data management solutions, introduced the immediate availability of InLink, a new in-clinic tool that streamlines remote cardiac monitoring workflows. Rather than having to use a USB thumb drive, InLink enables fast, secure wireless connections between the manufacturer programming systems for various cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and the Implicity platform – making data exchanges faster, safer and more efficient. “InLink provides direct access to data and diagnostics collected by manufacturer programming systems during in-clinic device checks, eliminating the need for cumbersome manual data transfers and reducing security risks posed by USBs, such as ransomware. The transmissions now happen automatically, saving clinicians valuable time they can dedicate back to patient care,” said Ad́élie Cerrato, Product Manager at Implicity. Cardiology practices must provide routine in-clinic checks for patients with CIEDs (e.g., pacemakers, ILRs, defibrillators). During visits, remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices are interrogated by manufacturer programming systems (Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, Biotronik, Microport) to retrieve discrete data and diagnostic reports, test the device, and make necessary setting adjustments. All of that information then needs to be transferred into Implicity’s cardiac remote monitoring software or electronic medical record (EMR) systems. Previously, the reports had to be printed or downloaded onto a portable USB thumb drive. InLink modernizes this tedious process by allowing the systems to communicate and transfer data automatically. What’s more, InLink makes it easy to create in-clinic reports and access manufacturer PDFs at the end of each patient visit. “When you consider some cardiac clinics seeing over 50 patients daily, the benefits of InLink are substantial. The tool will easily save clinicians hours each week and liberate them from manual, repetitive tasks,” added Dr. Arnaud Rosier, CEO, and founder of Implicity. “This is yet another example of Implicity delivering innovative, practical solutions that help unify RPM workflows, improve the lives of clinicians and enable better, more effective cardiac care.” About ImplicityImplicity is a MedTech software company dedicated to providing the best remote care to patients with connected cardiac implantable electronic devices. Co-founded by cardiac electrophysiologist Arnaud Rosier, MD, our platform aggregates, normalizes, and standardizes data from any implantable cardiac device across all manufacturers, improving care for those with chronic heart failure conditions. As the first and only cardiac implant remote monitoring company to receive FDA clearance for an AI-based algorithm, Implicity’s platform provides critical health information, enabling healthcare providers to make more informed decisions for better patient outcomes.

Implicity Introduces New Algorithm to Address Alert Fatigue in AF Care

Implicity Introduces New Algorithm to Address Alert Fatigue in AF Care New feature tackles atrial fibrillation burden, reducing the alerts for patients being treated with anticoagulant medication and highlighting clinically significant events. Cambridge, Mass., April 12, 2023 – Implicity, a leader in remote patient monitoring and cardiac data management solutions, introduced a new algorithm designed to reduce alert fatigue in the remote monitoring of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Implicity’s AF Alert Management feature addresses AF burden, reducing alerts for patients who are taking anticoagulants and have a low risk of complications while triggering notifications the relevant moment there is a significant change in a patient’s condition that requires intervention or adjustments to treatment. “The AF Alert Management tool optimizes AFib burden management, allowing providers to focus on clinically significant events,” said Adélie Cerrato, Product Manager at Implicity. “AFib burden can vary greatly between individuals on anticoagulants or those who are not. Our new algorithm can differentiate between the two, quieting alerts associated with patients on medication and notifying providers with smart alerts when the burden exceeds the threshold for action. This, in turn, can lead to better patient outcomes as they receive appropriate care when needed.” Continuous remote monitoring is critical for properly managing patients with AF. It allows providers to track patients’ heart rhythms for early intervention and treatment, reducing complications such as stroke and heart failure. The AF burden rate, or percentage of time spent in an irregular heartbeat state, is measured using various devices, such as Holter monitors, pacemakers, defibrillators, and implantable loop recorders (ILRs). Implicity’s algorithm works with any device that collects atrial burden trends data and can classify the following scenarios in line with ESC recommendations: Consider proposing therapies to the patient, such as ablation: Paroxysmal AF Increasing paroxysmal AF Persistent AF Evaluates the success of therapies: Back to sinus rhythm Back to paroxysmal AF On average, cardiologists receive about 1,000 manufacturer’s alerts on atrial burden/month per every 1,000 patients. Reviewing these alerts manually can prove to be time-consuming and inefficient. Implicity’s AF Alert Management alleviates this pain point and has the potential to save hours of time each month, freeing up clinicians so they can focus on patient care.

Weeding Out False Positives from ILRs

Weeding Out False Positives from ILRs Healthcare providers are swamped with false alarms from remote patient monitoring systems. Here’s how AI can help solve the problem. Remote patient monitoring systems have made enormous inroads in healthcare in recent years, especially for chronically ill patient populations. The ability to passively monitor patients for adverse events and warning signs can save lives, but it also creates substantial logistical hurdles for healthcare providers– especially cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and their support staff. In particular, we’re seeing increased adoption of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) which are implanted underneath the skin of a patient’s chest and then used to detect abnormal rhythms that can be warning signs for stroke. Such devices are now connected and able to transmit data to the ‘cloud’ in order to be reviewed by healthcare professionals. Obviously, the data from these devices must be remotely monitored for alerts. ILRs are designed to be extremely sensitive so that they don’t miss any critical events, but this sensitivity often leads to an unwieldy number of false positives – which can quickly overwhelm healthcare teams.

Preventing Clinician Burnout with AI

Preventing Clinician Burnout with AI Burnout among doctors and nurses was already a major problem facing healthcare organizations, even before the COVID pandemic – maybe even more for healthcare professionals working in the extremely demanding field of cardiology. It’s not just a matter of long hours and overwhelming patient loads (although these factors certainly don’t help). Burnout is also the result of the pressure that healthcare providers put on themselves to be perfect when the stakes are literally a matter of life or death. According to one recent survey, 43 percent of cardiologists report feeling burnt out, compared to 39 percent in academic medicine and 32 percent of nurses. Those numbers are alarmingly high, but healthcare organizations often lack good options for addressing the problem. The COVID-19 pandemic stretched already thin healthcare staff nearly to their breaking point, and the ensuing “Great Resignation” has made it difficult for clinics and hospitals to recruit and retain new talent. Even if a healthcare organization is able to find prospects, budget limitations often prevent them from expanding their staff enough to meaningfully reduce burnout. Technology (in particular, artificial intelligence) may become a viable solution for many healthcare organizations. Here are four ways that AI can prevent and reduce burnout for clinicians.

Why AI Is Becoming a Must-Have for Remote Patient Monitoring

Why AI Is Becoming a Must-Have for Remote Patient Monitoring Remote patient monitoring solutions are producing more patient data each year. The only way for healthcare providers to process it all – and support their patients – is with artificial intelligence-based tools. Once a technology enters our lives, it becomes impossible to imagine living without it. The first smartphones only hit the market around 15 years ago, for instance, and it feels like we’ve had them forever. Widespread streaming of digital media is even younger, and yet most of us barely remember how to operate our dust-covered DVD players. We’re about to hit a similar technology tipping point when it comes to artificial intelligence in healthcare. And providers need to be ready for a near-future where AI is essentially mandatory – especially for remote patient monitoring programs. Implicity’s AI algorithm that analyzes ECG data from implantable loop recorders (ILRs) only received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration late last year, and already we’re seeing it become a mission-critical technology for some of our customers. Here are four use cases that will soon make AI solutions in healthcare impossible to ignore. Read the full article on AITechPark.     By Arnaud Rosier, CEO of IMPLICITY®.
