The potential benefits of remote technology

Whether you are using remote monitoring or remote follow-up technology, your doctor and physiologist can be kept up to date about changes in your heart rhythm. This enables them to schedule your hospital appointments or your remote follow-up appointments as part of your follow-up regime.

Should you need to contact your doctor because you are experiencing symptoms that cause you concern, they can evaluate your cardiac condition remotely and decide what course of action “if any” to take.

Travelling and remote monitoring

You should contact your follow-up clinic if you are travelling abroad, as some of the remote monitoring systems use different telephone networks and so may not function in some countries. Therefore some adjustment may be needed because of differing time zones.
