This new solution is based on Sorin’s implanted cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices’ ability to send data to a non-invasive monitoring system located at the patient’s home and on Orange Business Services’s capabilities to manage the transmission of the data to the physician.
The solution will facilitate the follow-up care of patients by transmitting data electronically from patients’ implanted cardiac devices to their physicians, without the patients leaving their homes. Using these data, physicians can detect arrhythmia or cardiac disease progression and provide timely therapy, which may reduce the need for hospitalization and improve the patients’ quality of life, said Sorin.
Stefano Lullo, president of the CRM business unit of Sorin Group, said: “Our strategy is to work with acknowledged leaders in other industries. We are delighted to have signed this collaborative agreement with Orange Business Services. This agreement demonstrates Sorin Group’s commitment to continuously enhance the standards of care we deliver to patients and medical professionals.”
