Remote MONITORING
Provide closer care to your patients wherever they are
why remote monitoring
In today’s increasingly complex environment, device clinics are finding ways to improve patient outcomes, while efficiently managing resources.
CareLink™ remote monitoring helps clinics overcome these challenges by moving data instead of patients and enabling early notifications of important events.
how it works
1. Patient's mobile app or a bedside monitor automatically and securely sends data from the patient's device to the CareLink platform.
2. Clinicians can access patient data using CareLinkTM clinician website.
The benefits
Remote monitoring means that you are not in the dark between in-clinic checks.
Early CareAlert™ notifications of clinically important events help you react quicker to improve patient outcomes.
Drive efficiency by moving data, not patients
More than 2 million patients around the world are followed up on Medtronic Carelink™7. That translates to up to 3.4 million less patient visits every year8.
