RhythmScience Inc. Partners With Your Clinic

We would like to be the first to welcome you and let you know that we, at RhythmScience Inc. and your cardiologist, are working together to remotely monitor your CardioMEMS PA pressure device and provide you with the best possible care. Your health and safety are a top priority for us, and our team is working to ensure that your heart device is communicating vital information to your doctors quickly and reliably. 

Do you know why Remote Heart Failure Monitoring is important? 

If you have an elevation in your pulmonary arterial measurements (your vitals!), your implanted CardioMEMS device can identify this, letting us know that you may be experiencing symptoms. This allows your doctor to treat you quickly and prevent a possible trip to the hospital. Leading research studies have found that just by transmitting your vitals via this system, you are increasing your chances of living longer and avoiding a trip to the hospital by over 50%.

How Remote Monitoring Works

If you already have a monitor, please make sure the setup process has been completed (this occurs at the hospital prior to discharge, or once you get home). Your monitor works as a messenger, taking any data/information that is recorded and stored inside of your implanted device, and sending it to your device company’s portal. We receive your data from the device company, review it, and send it to your doctor’s office. If for any reason there is a clinical concern, your doctor’s office will contact you.  If for some reason we are not receiving information, you will receive a reminder message to transmit.

One last thing—we do bill Medicare and/or your insurance, so if you see us on your statement, just know that your heart is in the best hands possible and we are here for you when you need us. You may also see a statement from your doctor’s office- this is because we take care of the “technical” portion of your remote monitoring making sure your transmitter is working as expected, and your doctor interprets the report and uses the data to manage your care, which is the “professional” portion. You are not getting charged any more-- the service is just split into 2 parts. 

Remember! Your health and safety are our top priority, and our service only works if  If you have questions about your monitor, or if you choose not to participate in this service, you can call the RhythmScience team at 512-764-9522, or email us at support@rhythmscienceinc.com. For questions concerning the results of your transmissions, please speak with your doctor.

*If you are experiencing any life-threatening symptoms, please call 911 immediately. 

Wishing you the best of health from all of us at RhythmScience Inc.
