Remote therapeutic monitoring is changing the way we think about patient care, not just in cardiology. Heartbeat Health marries RTM with telehealth to provide 24/7 monitoring of cardiovascular health, and they've partnered with other startups to extend their care pool to include more populations, such as Medicaid. This makes a ton of sense - Medicaid, reserved for lower income patients, has the duality of higher comorbidity rate and restricted access to care. This "virtual-first cardiology model" seems logical and is certainly exciting for patients dealing with cardiovascular diagnoses. (May 2024)
