Geneva Healthcare provides a cloud-based platform designed to collect data from major device manufacturer systems. This allows physicians to remotely monitor all their patients implanted with cardiac devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators and loop recorders.
It offers a single platform for physicians to order patient monitoring, view results and request routine device checks, improving in-office efficiencies and patient compliance.
