Lay summary
The utilisation of telemedicine devices has the potential to provide remote, clinically necessary, diagnostic information, without the need for hospital attendance. The aim of this project is to equip and empower patients known to be at high risk of acute coronary syndromes to seek urgent medical help without going to the hospital, if they experience symptoms, and to make a decision to present to the emergency services whenever necessary. This serves two aims: 1) Ensuring that patients present appropriately to the emergency services if needed, and 2) To prevent unnecessary presentations, as assessed by well-validated technologies coupled with an urgent remote consultation with a specialist.
Public benefit statement
The telemonitoring system would reduce hospital readmission for patients with high cardiovascular risk post-acute coronary syndrome by using well-validated technologies coupled with an urgent remote consultation with a cardiologist.
