Using 5G technology for follow-up care of heart devices

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of 5G cloud follow-up for patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) such as pacemakers and defibrillators. It employs a prospective, paired, self-controlled, non-inferiority design across multiple centers to compare traditional in-office follow-ups with remote monitoring via 5G technology. Participants will receive both types of follow-up during their regular clinic visits to assess the feasibility and outcomes of remote programming. The study aims to enhance patient monitoring and timely intervention while reducing the need for hospital visits.
