Telemonitoring: 3 opportunities for cardiology practice teams

Heart failure patients pose particular challenges for cardiology practices: sudden deteriorations, unplanned emergency appointments and quickly unsettled patients lead to time-consuming care between appointments. Telemonitoring offers concrete solutions that can sustainably improve day-to-day practice.

Heart failure patients pose particular challenges for cardiology practices: sudden deteriorations, frequent emergency contacts and time-consuming care between appointments. Telemonitoring offers concrete solutions that can sustainably improve day-to-day practice.

1. more structured workflows in the daily practice routine

Early detection of decompensation: The daily transmission of weight, blood pressure and pulse makes it possible to recognise deteriorations in heart failure at an early stage. This allows you and the medical team to intervene proactively and efficiently before acute decompensation occurs and the patient arrives at the practice unplanned with severe symptoms.

Reduction in spontaneous patient contacts: Patients with continuous monitoring show less uncertainty between appointments. They know that their vital signs are being monitored regularly, which leads to fewer spontaneous calls to the practice. This makes it easier to plan your day-to-day work.

Optimised scheduling: The continuous data overview means that check-up appointments can be planned in a more targeted manner. Stable patients require less frequent check-ups, while appointments can be scheduled early if values deteriorate.

2. more satisfied patients

Increased sense of security: Heart failure patients often suffer from anxiety about their prognosis and possible acute deterioration. Continuous monitoring gives them a feeling of security and control. MFAs who have been using SaniQ HEART for some time tell us that patients are more relaxed and the atmosphere during consultations is more positive.

Better understanding of the disease: Daily self-measurement leads to an improved understanding of one's own illness. Patients recognise correlations between symptoms, medication intake and measured values, which has a positive influence on adherence to treatment.

Participatory treatment: Patients are actively involved in their treatment and develop a greater sense of responsibility for their health. This also facilitates communication between the patient and the practice team.

3. professional development for MFAs

Expertise in pioneering technology: Telemonitoring is a key component of the digital transformation in the healthcare sector. As an MFA who uses this technology in practice, you will acquire skills in an important future field of medicine. These skills are increasingly in demand on the labour market.

Advanced medical knowledge: The interpretation of progression data and the recognition of trends require an in-depth understanding of heart failure pathophysiology. You will learn to assess clinical deterioration using objective parameters and to initiate appropriate measures.

Upgraded position in the practice team: Your expertise in telemonitoring will make you the point of contact for digital care concepts. This can strengthen your position in practice and open up new career opportunities.

Practical implementation with SaniQ HERZ

The introduction of telemonitoring requires a structured approach. A step-by-step approach, starting with a small group of suitable patients, has proved successful. The technical familiarisation is straightforward and our support team will accompany you during the implementation phase.

Most practices report a familiarisation period of around four to six weeks, after which the benefits of the system become clear: more structured workflows, more satisfied patients and enhanced specialist skills in a pioneering area of medicine.
