HOW IT WORKS

FocusOn Graph of how it works

 

The FocusOn™ team triages all transmitted data from all Medtronic cardiac devices according to hospital customisations and promptly notifies Clinical Teams about clinically actionable information, using communications prioritised by color-coding and proactive phone calls for urgent events.

FocusOn on brand messaging

I’ve worked with the FocusOn™ monitoring and triaging service for more than 3 years now, and the quality of the cardiac data analysis is beyond question.
