SmartSignalHF remote monitoring for people with implanted ICD or CRT‑D and heart failure

Prospective Real World Heart Failure Management for Patient With CIED Remotely Monitored

Not applicable Interventional Implicity · NCT07247032

This tests whether SmartSignalHF remote monitoring for people with implanted ICD or CRT‑D and chronic heart failure can reduce deaths and heart failure hospital visits over 12 months compared with standard remote monitoring.

What this trial studies

This open-label, randomized, parallel, multicenter trial will enroll patients with chronic heart failure and an implanted ICD or CRT‑D compatible with the SignalHF platform and randomize them 1:1 to SmartSignalHF versus standard heart failure remote monitoring. SmartSignalHF continuously analyzes CIED and patient data to generate actionable alerts for care teams, while the control arm receives current standard remote monitoring. The primary endpoint is a composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalizations at 12 months, with secondary endpoints including quality of life and adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy. The trial focuses on patients already enrolled on the Implicity remote monitoring platform and uses remote data streams to prompt clinical interventions.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults 18–85 with chronic NYHA class II–III heart failure and LVEF ≤40% who have had an ICD or CRT‑D compatible with SignalHF for at least 30 days and are enrolled on the Implicity remote monitoring platform in France or Germany.

Not a fit: Patients awaiting heart transplant or LVAD, those with life expectancy under 12 months, people not implanted with compatible devices, or those not on the Implicity platform are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, SmartSignalHF could enable earlier detection of worsening heart failure, reduce hospital admissions and deaths, and help optimize guideline-directed treatments.

How similar studies have performed: Previous CIED-based remote monitoring studies have produced mixed results with some demonstrating reduced events (for example IN-TIME) while others did not, and SmartSignalHF's continuous analytics approach is relatively new and unproven in large randomized settings.
