The First Pilot Study on Remote Monitoring of Implantable Cardiac Electronic Devices in South Korea: Rationale and Study Protocol of a REMOTE-CARE
Author(s): YouMi Hwang* and Hannah Bae
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that remote cardiac device monitoring reduces unnecessary outpatient visits and increases patient satisfaction. As domestic research on remote monitoring in Korea is lacking, there is a need for more evidence in order to develop remote monitoring-related policies or insurance standards. Based on our previous research on patient requirements for remote monitoring, we designed the first Korean study on remote cardiac device monitoring, including a 1-year follow-up period, to examine the patient satisfaction, medical safety, and efficacy of remote monitoring.
Methods: The REMOTE-CARE study is a single university hospital observational survey study that will include 100 cardiac implantable electronic devices, including Pace Makers (PMs), Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD), and Cardiac Res.. View More»
