Who Is the Patient App Questionnaire Intended For?
The questionnaire is intended for patients who have an implanted cardiac device, use the Patient App, and are or may be at risk of heart failure. The questionnaire will be available only when you and your health care team have agreed to use it as part of your home monitoring care program. Your health care professional will advise you whether the Patient App Questionnaire might be useful in your case.
How Can the Questionnaire Support My Health Care Team?
Whenever your health care team wants to know more about your current heart health, they will send you a notification in the Patient App that asks you to answer eight simple questions. Your input provides additional information to your physicians and allows an initial evaluation of your health status. When it is necessary, your health care team may contact you for further information. Have a first look at the questions by downloading them below.
How Do Home Monitoring, the Patient App and the Questionnaire Work Together?
The BIOTRONIK Patient App is connected to the BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring® system. The information about the symptoms you enter in the Patient App Questionnaire is automatically shared with your clinic.1 Now your clinic has the overview of your symptoms in addition to the data available on Home Monitoring. This may be helpful to further refine your therapy or diagnosis. Before you start using the Patient App Questionnaire, we recommend you first talk with your health care team. During this conversation, you can discuss the benefits of the app and the questionnaire for your specific situation.
