  1. Patients can be anywhere for transmissions to occur. Their smartphone captures data via Bluetooth® so information is not dependent on transmissions—they are continuously occurring.
  2. Via secure cellular, clinician receives and reviews the information, makes any necessary reprogramming adjustments on the CareLink network, and sends directly back to the patient’s device, reducing patient office visits and saving patient and clinician time.

App-based remote monitoring

MyCareLink Heart Mobile App

  • Remote monitoring with MyCareLink Heart results in 94.6% patient adherence to transmission schedule, compared to 77% patient adherence for bedside monitors.
