CONNECT PATIENTS WITH BECONNECTED PATIENT SUPPORT SERVICE
Your journey to make remote monitoring standard of care for your patients can come with various challenges.
Clinicians spend significant time on onboarding & patients are often overwhelmed.
More cardiac device patients with remote monitoring increases the time spent on patient calls1.
BECONNECTED is a patient support service designed to free up clinic time by directing patients to our experienced team.
Helps patients onboard with their optimal monitoring solution.
Helps patients with device & monitoring questions.
BECONNECTED PATIENT ONBOARDING
A PERSONALISED SOLUTION FOR EVERY PATIENT
Effective and convenient monitoring solutions for patients and clinics.
2 Million patients enrolled on CareLink™ worldwide3
99% of Medtronic cardiac devices are compatible with CareLink™4
ENABLE DISTANCING DURING IN-CLINIC FOLLOW UP WITH CARELINK EXPRESS™ MOBILE
CareLink™ Express Mobile decouples a patient device interrogation from the data interpretation, moving data quickly and offering you flexibility without the need for a device clinician to be on-site.
1. Device interrogation
Patients can be interrogated from any location and at safe distance, reducing unnecessary patient movement and minimising exposure for both patients and your staff.
2. TRANSMISSION ASSESSMENT
Device clinician is notified to review the data remotely on the CareLink™ Express website without the need to be near the patient.

DISTANCE PROGRAMMING WITH CARELINK SMARTSYNC™ DEVICE MANAGER
CareLink SmartSync™ Device Manager provides healthcare professionals with distance programming and testing for BlueSync™ - enabled implantable cardiac devices, thereby minimising risk of exposure.
Distance Capabilities5
Patient connector to Bluetooth-enabled heart device: 2 meters
SmartSync to patient connector: 10 meters
IMPLANT REVEAL LINQ™ OUT OF CATH LAB WITH REVEAL LINQ™ MOBILE MANAGER
Reveal LINQ™ Mobile Manager is an innovative, app-based device management system for Reveal LINQ™ ICM. It enables procedure simplicity and programmer portability for device activation, programming and device check activities – all from the same tablet.
1. The procedure of inserting an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) can be performed outside the traditional settings.
2. Extensive evidence supports out-of-lab insertion of Reveal LINQ™ as being safe and efficient6-17.
3. The Reveal LINQ™ Mobile Manager provides out-of lab option to optimise resources.
- Frees up the Cath Lab for essential procedures11,12,15,16.
- Requires less specialised staff11,12,15,16,17.
- Improves patient flow/wait time10,15,16.

MANAGE BURDEN WITH FOCUSON™
FocusOn™ is a monitoring and triaging service designed to help healthcare professionals save time spent reviewing transmissions whilst enabling better outcomes.
THE CHALLENGE
GROWING AMOUNT OF DATA AND PATIENTS
- Increasing number of patients to be followed-up.
- Amount of data is growing with technology improvements.
ORGANISATIONAL CHALLENGES
- Limited resources19
- Need for efficiency and organisational optimisation20,21
of the transmitted data requires clinical action18,22,23 the rest simply confirms that the implant is working well.
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.
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.
