Abstract

Remote device management involves remote follow-up (which replace periodic in-clinic device interrogations for assessing device function), remote monitoring (with unscheduled transmissions of alerts such as atrial fibrillation), and patient-initiated interrogations (that are initiated manually due to a perceived or real clinical event). This article overviews the different aspects related to these functions.

Keywords: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator; Pacemaker; Remote device management; Remote follow-up; Remote monitoring; Telemedicine.
