How a cardiology practice is establishing telemedicine in the heart of Rhineland-Palatinate 

In the middle of rural Rhineland-Palatinate, Dr. Naim Abujarour has successfully established telemonitoring for heart failure. His cardiology practice has now been named „SaniQ Practice of the Year“.

„Telemonitoring is the perfect complement to practice appointments! Close monitoring enables early detection of decompensations and timely adjustment of therapy - for patients, this means more time and quality of life.“

Why Kirn?

At a time when digital medicine is often associated with large clinics in metropolitan areas, the practice in Kirn proves the opposite: digital progress does not require a large clinic - but rather the willingness to break new ground in healthcare and see digital solutions as an opportunity.

Telemonitoring made easy

The practice in Kirn has been treating heart failure patients digitally for a year now. Patients measure their vital signs conveniently at home and the data is automatically transmitted to the practice, where it is displayed in a clear dashboard.

„It hasn't changed the day-to-day running of the practice significantly,“ says medical assistant Sylvia Jungblut. „All it takes is a few minutes a day to view monitoring alarms and adjust the therapy if necessary.“

The cardiologist and his assistant are a well-coordinated team who are proud of the results of their digitization project.

The software is intuitive and saves us time. Patients are happy and grateful that this form of monitoring is available. And I'm pleased that I can take on responsibility as a medical assistant and gain even more insight into cardiology diagnostics.

More safety for patients

Heart patient Edmund Pfeiffer also receives digital care from the practice. Patients like him are often accompanied in everyday life by the fear of a sudden and unpredictable deterioration in their heart health. Thanks to telemonitoring, he not only feels better medically, but also emotionally relieved: „Telemonitoring gives me a good feeling and more security in everyday life.“

Telemonitoring is not a complicated additional project, but can be easily integrated into everyday practice. Over the past 12 months, the practice in Kirn has shown how innovative technology can be used to sustainably improve the care of cardiac patients in rural areas.

As many cardiology practices as possible should follow this example. „Just get started and don't think twice,“ recommends Dr. Abujarour.
