❤️ Virtual health system equals standard care for heart devices

A virtual e-health system called VIRTUES was found to be as safe and effective as regular clinic visits for monitoring cardiac implantable electronic devices. This system was trialed in 13 centers across Canada involving 1,115 patients with pacemakers or ICDs. The trials, conducted over 18 months, showed noninferiority in safety outcomes and cost savings of about $10 million annually in Canada. Researchers noted that patients strongly supported this digital approach, giving them a sense of control over their health. Further global studies are needed, but the system shows potential for wider implementation.
