As new-generation cardiac devices and monitoring products converge with wireless networks, medical professionals are acquiring the capability to monitor key patient parameters and implanted device data in near-real time. Depending on the architecture, these new communication-enabled devices are capable of sending data continuously or on a timed or exception basis. The FDA approval of several cardiovascular implants signal the arrival of a new phase in the marriage of electronics and medical devices - one in which critical patient data can be used be caregivers to modify treatment protocols or schedule interventional procedures in response to current patient status regardless of the patient's location.

As these wireless-enabled devices grow and penetrate the population of cardiovascular patients - a population which itself is expected to grow - the amount of data generated will increase exponentially. Future generation devices are expected to include sensing features and algorithms that will allow the device logic to filter out events based on the patient's individual history that do not require immediate transmission and attention, but the sheer number of patients with wirelessly enabled implants and the resulting volume of alerts will drive the need for service bureaus that can act as intermediaries - screening and relaying device data to the appropriate respondent.

These findings are part of a comprehensive report that examines the devices, technology, and market participants that are shaping the future of ambulatory cardiovascular medicine
