FAQ

Why an app?

In our contacts with people who have a BIOTRONIK device implanted, we noticed many of them would like to be more involved in their therapy and learn more about their implanted device. That is why BIOTRONIK developed this app. It keeps you updated on various aspects of your device and the daily monitoring of your heart rhythm. You can also send your doctor detailed information about the symptoms you experience, which is helpful for your doctor when making therapy decisions.

Will the app help to improve my cardiac health status?

The app does not directly provide therapy, but there are situations where the app can help your doctor to make important therapy decisions. With the app, you can record your symptoms when you experience them. This information can be automatically sent to your clinician and combined with the data transmitted via Home Monitoring. Now your doctor has a more complete insight into your condition and can make therapy changes if necessary. With the app, you can help keep your health care team fully informed. Talk with your doctor to find whether these functions would be helpful in your situation.

Is my BIOTRONIK device compatible with the app?

On your Patient ID, you can find the name of your implanted device. The following BIOTRONIK cardiac devices are compatible with the app:

  • Edora, Eluna, Enitra, Enticos, Epyra, Etrinsa, Evity
  • Acticor, Rivacor
  • Ilivia, Ilivia Neo, Inlexa, Intica, Intica Neo, Inventra, Iperia, Itrevia
  • BIOMONITOR III, BIOMONITOR IIIm, and BIOMONITOR IV

You need to have BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring to take full advantage of the functionality of the app. Contact your doctor to find out the advantages that BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring can provide for you.

Is my smartphone compatible?

All smartphones using Android 8.1 or Apple iOS 12 or higher can be used with the BIOTRONIK Patient App. 

Is the Patient App compatible with other health apps?

The BIOTRONIK Patient App can be used in parallel with other health apps you may have. There is, however, no data integration between the Patient App and other health apps.

Do I need the app to use BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring?

No. Home Monitoring Service Center is designed to be fully functional without the Patient App connected.

Is there anything I can do wrong while using the Patient App?

No, you do not have to fear you might do something wrong. The Patient App does not control your implanted cardiac device. The longevity of your implanted device or any of its functions can not be affected by using the app. We recommend you contact your health care team before using the app. They can advise you about the app and its use.

What if I forget to record my symptoms in the Symptom Diary of the Patient App?

No problem. You can enter your symptoms anytime in the app. Also later, after the event occurred, you can write in your Symptom Diary. We recommend you contact your health care team about the Symptom Diary of the Patient App and how to use it in your specific situation. 

What does my doctor do with the information?

The symptom information in your Symptom Diary can be evaluated by your health care team together with the other information collected via Home Monitoring. Now they can compare the information detected by your cardiac device and the symptoms you have experienced. This may be helpful in making decisions about your therapy.

Who can see my data?

The same strict data protection rules apply for the data sent in by your Patient App as the data transmitted by Home Monitoring. Only authorized members from your hospital health care team can look at your data.

I do not have an ID card. What should I do?

Contact your doctor or health care staff. In most cases, you will receive an ID card shortly after the implant procedure, while you are still in the hospital.

How do I register for the app?

You need to download the app first and then register. Have your ID card ready. You also might need the CardioMessenger to register. Details on how to register can be found here.

Should I inform my doctor about using the app?

Before you start using the app, we recommend you first talk with your doctor or medical staff. During this conversation, the benefits of the app in your specific situation can be discussed.

Can I share the app with one of my family members or caretakers?

Yes, the app can also be used with your permission by other persons (e.g., family members) using your registration information. Please make sure that you only provide authorized people the login information to your Patient App. We highly recommend you and the persons you're sharing your data with protect your data by locking your phones with a personal identification number (PIN), fingerprint or face ID.
