| Title | Practicalities of implementation of remote device and disease management |
| Shownotes | "The Finnish geographical context together with the growing patient flow and ICD implant rate define the perfect environment to evaluate the Medtronic CareLinkTM Network as a remote device and disease management tool." Dr. Raatikainen describes the first European evaluation pilot led by him at the University of Oulu, giving details on the different challenges of the service set-up phase and presenting the brilliant results obtained during the 12-month experience. The use of a patient case taken from the pilot study gives, in a snapshot, the many potentials of the system with a special focus on safety and cost-effectiveness. |
