Overview
Almost two years into the pandemic, COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on the global healthcare system, including CIED follow-up and patient care.
Please join us at 15:00 Delhi / 17:30 Singapore / 18:30 Tokyo / 20:30 Sydney for our next Asia Pacific Online Symposium on Cardiac Rhythm Management where we will catch up with some of the faculty from our 2020 webinar on Remote Care to discuss what has changed over the last 18 months with regards to the management of arrhythmia patients, the ongoing effects of COVID-19, and some of the lasting impacts we’re likely to see to CIED patient care.
We’ll start by discussing the latest considerations for remote monitoring, including best practices related to workflow and managing the increased demand brought on by the pandemic. In the second half of the program, we’ll review the trend towards app-based remote monitoring as well as the most recent data supporting its use to improve efficiency and patient engagement especially during this period.
