Geneva Health Solutions, a BioTelemetry company, Featured at Heart Rhythm Society Scientific Session

Managing vast data from implantable cardiac devices requires a transformative technology and service platform

Geneva Health Solutions a leading solutions provider of technology-enabled services in the implantable cardiac device space, and a BioTelemetry, Inc. company (NASDAQ:BEAT), released its cardiac device data findings at the 40th Annual (2019) Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) conference. Geneva’s proprietary cloud-based platform aggregates data from leading cardiac device manufacturer systems and provides physicians and their staff a single workflow portal to manage patient device monitoring data, review and sign reports and integrate data with the electronic medical record. It is the only company that combines a proven enterprise platform and a quality service. The Geneva remote monitoring service helps cardiology providers manage the data deluge from these cardiac devices, including implantable loop recorders (ILRs).

The moderated session titled, “The Role of Novel Remote Monitoring Data Management System Ameliorating Data Deluge from Implantable Loop Recorders,” was presented by Dr. Manish Wadhwa, Fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society (FHRS), Geneva’s co-founder and chief medical officer.

Dr. Wadhwa reviewed the following highlights at the conference:

• Over a three-month time period, over 22,000 implantable loop recorder (ILR) reports poured onto the Geneva platform from one cardiology practice.
• Approximately eight percent of these reports required immediate action, while seventy-eight percent of the reports did not contain useful information or represented data that could be stratified for timely but non-urgent review and reporting.
• The Geneva platform was designed to collate these reports and provide practitioners more meaningful reporting.

“The number of patients being implanted with diagnostic cardiac devices is increasing and so is the aging population of our nation,” said Dr. Wadhwa. “Our connected health solution reduces office staff burden and is another way to effectively manage our country’s rising healthcare costs. It enhances the patient care experience and enables an even stronger physician-patient partnership.”

“Through our platform and service, we have the unique ability to reduce the data management burden of already resource-stretched and time-constrained healthcare organizations, allowing more time for patient care,” said Yuri Sudhakar, BioTelemetry Senior Vice President and Geneva President. “Our technology enabled services will continue to help drive in-office efficiencies, improve patient compliance while reducing the cost of care.

Geneva was acquired by BioTelemetry in January 2019.
