Objective: To investigate the clinical feasibility (technical feasibility and patient-/clinician adherence) of remote telemonitoring, using a mobile phone, in an international and diverse HF population. Methods: HF patients from five centers in the USA, India and Sweden were equipped with a blood pressure apparatus, digital weight scale and a mobile phone device with custom made software for remote telemonitoring (Vitalbeat®). Patients were asked to record and transmit daily information on body weight, blood pressure and pulse rate as well as symptoms and adherence to medical therapy for 90 days. The primary endpoint, for assessment of general feasibility was defined as % of days with a combination of successful data transmission from patients and data read by clinicians. Acceptable clinical feasibility was a priori set as ≥ 66% of days meeting the primary endpoint. A survey was used to assess patients’ opinions about the remote monitoring system. Data was analyzed according to Intention to treat. Results: 46 HF patients were included (India=20, USA=13, Sweden=13; 59±16yrs; 84% male; NYHA-class 2.4±0.8) and followed for a total of 4410 days. The primary endpoint occurred in 3178 days (77%) and 34/46 patients (74%) exceeded the cut-off ≥ 66% of days meeting endpoint criteria. In the majority of patients (n=28; 61 %) the primary endpoint was met ≥ 90% of the days, and in 6 patients (13%) 66-89% of the days.Twelve patients (26%) opted to drop out of the study prematurely or were hospitalized for HF related causes. Compared to patients with acceptable clinical feasibility (≥ 66%), patients with less than acceptable feasibility (< 66%) were older (72±12 vs. 56±15 yrs, p=0.003) and more likely to be followed at a center in USA or Sweden (p=0.02 vs. Indian centers). The monitoring system was described as user friendly by 91 % of patients. Conclusion: This study shows that remote telemonitoring using a mobile phone is clinically feasible in an international and diverse heart failure population. However, monitoring was less feasible in elderly patients and depended on the geographic location. Further studies are warranted to assess whether clinical feasibility can improve with improved software/hardware design and/or patient selection.

Remote Monitoring System

This paper presents a real-time monitoring system with a novel approach to assess the human health status without the need for using a body sensor. The project mainly targets improving the quality of life for those living independently but still require close monitoring. Skin fluctuation of the human face is monitored real time with a high-speed camera to determine vital signs including the heart rate and blood pressure. A few image processing algorithms have been utilized to determine the image fluctuations and extract the related features and acquire vital signals. An algorithm assesses and evaluates the risks involved in irregular behaviors and takes follow up actions where required. The application has been implemented on two platforms and interfaced with a high-speed camera to evaluate the performance of the remote monitoring system in indoor situations.

Remote Monitoring System

BACKGROUND Febrile neutropenia represents one of the most common oncologic emergencies and is associated with significant, preventable morbidity and mortality. The vast majority of patients suffering a febrile neutropenia episode are hospitalized, resulting in significant economic cost. OBJECTIVE This exploratory study implemented a remote monitoring platform including a digital infrared thermometer and a pulse oximeter with the capability to notify providers in real-time of vital signs abnormalities that could suggest early clinical deterioration, and thereby improve upon clinical outcomes. METHODS The remote monitoring system was implemented versus standard of care vital signs monitoring in hospitalized patients with underlying hematologic malignancies complicated by a febrile neutropenia episode in order to assess both feasibility and validity of the system. RESULTS Intraclass correlation coefficient analysis (ICC), confirmed the high repeatability and accuracy of heart rate assessment (ICC= 0.856), acting as a supplement to sole, remote temperature assessment. While the sensitivity and specificity for capturing tachycardia above a rate of 100 was excellent (88% and 97% respectively), the sensitivity of the remote monitoring system capturing temperature greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit and oxygen saturation less than 92% was 45% and 50% respectively. CONCLUSIONS Overall, this novel approach including temperature, heart rate and oxygen saturation assessment successfully provides real-time, clinically valuable feedback to providers. While the temperature and oxygen saturation lags in terms of sensitivity when compared to a standard in-hospital system, the heart rate data helps overcome some of this deficit, and as a whole, the system provides additional information that can be applied to a clinically vulnerable population. By transitioning its application to the high-risk patients in the outpatient setting, the novel system can help prevent additional healthcare utilization through early provider intervention and potentially improve outcomes.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Heart failure (HF) is associated with a high mortality rate and recurrent hospitalizations. Purpose To present the first data of the patients using Satelia® Cardio solution Method Satelia® Cardio is a HF patient management solution with a remote monitoring system and a therapeutic guidance by a dedicated-nurse phone platform, supported by the ETAPES Program. The system is accessible from any device and requiring no installation. After the inclusion, the patient is contacted by the nurse, he then receives an SMS alerts following cardiologist prescription (on regular basis), with a link leading to a web page on which he will answer 7 questions and enter his current body weight. Satelia® Cardio algorithm is based on these data inputs, their variability, and the weight. In case of worsening of symptoms, the cardiologist will be notified. Since Covid-19 lockdown, more than 1400 patients have been monitored with the solution. Results 165 centers (306 cardiologists) are using Satelia® Cardio with 3540 HF patients monitored in the last 29 months. The patients with a mean age of 72 years (19-100) are predominantly males (67%), and mostly NYHA II/III (69%/31%) with a mean LVEF of 40%. The adherence to the system is very good (91%) with 78% of patients still monitored (n = 2787). The main reasons for stopping are related to the occurrence of death (205/753) or patient/HCP decision (392/753), or other reasons (156/753). Over the period of analysis, the HF patients answered to 163 700 questionnaires, generating 8210 alerts transmitted to the referent cardiologists. Conclusion Patient management solution with a remote monitoring system is key to improving the follow-up of HF patients. The solution Satelia® Cardio is an easy way to use a web application to monitor HF patients, especially on the current period of Covid-19 with a low rate of premature discontinuation. A further step will be to initiate studies to assess the potential benefits for both patients and HCPs  of such remote monitoring solution in HF.
