Home Monitoring in Cardiology: A New Era of Patient Care

Over the past decade, healthcare has experienced a remarkable evolution in how patients are monitored and managed remotely. Although the Covid-19 pandemic may have accelerated this trend, it is clear that even before the pandemic—when visits to see the doctor occasionally became nigh on impossible—modern technology was already paving the way for clinicians, particularly cardiologists, to care for their patients within the comfort of their own homes. By sending biometric and medical data through various monitoring devices to user-friendly dashboards, cardiology teams have been able to watch over patients without necessarily requiring them to come to clinic. This approach offers immense benefits: it minimises physical travel to the hospital or clinic, ensures timely interventions for emerging issues, and empowers patients to take greater responsibility for their own health.
