The New BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring^®

Stay in touch with your patients anywhere in the world.

Home Monitoring is an internet-based, automatic remote monitoring system that uses the cellular phone network to enable physicians to remotely monitor their patients' clinical status and their device status no matter where they happen to be.

The way it works is simple. The implanted device transmits diagnostic, therapeutic, and technical data automatically and silently to a small external patient communicator, the CardioMessenger^®, via an integrated antenna – (all) without the slightest patient interaction.

The external patient device or CardioMessenger then quickly and efficiently forwards the data automatically to the BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring Service Center via cellular networks. In the US and Japan, a landline version of the communicator is also available.

The Home Monitoring Service Center then analyzes the data and compiles a continuously updated and consolidated patient status summary or CardioReport. In case of clinically severe status changes of patients' condition, the Home Monitoring Service Center generates an immediate event notification, and, if pre-selected, an additional event alert via email, SMS, or fax is sent to the physicians, letting them know the status of their patients' condition.
