Heart health is something we often take for granted, until we can’t. Sudden fatigue, chest pain, or unexplained shortness of breath are the most common signs of heart disease. However, individuals can experience symptoms intermittently and may be asymptomatic, especially in the early stages of heart disease. Waiting for the onset of symptoms is not the best approach for chronic disease management, especially heart disease. 80% of premature heart disease and strokes can be prevented with early monitoring and intervention. This is where Biotricity is making a profound impact. With it’s innovative suite of products, Biotricity is transforming the landscape of cardiac care, empowering patients and physicians alike. Biotricity isn’t just offering medical devices, it’s delivering state-of-the-art solutions that make heart health care more accessible, proactive, and effective.
Continuous Monitoring: A New Standard for Heart Health
Traditional heart monitoring relies on periodic in-office doctors visits and monitoring periods are typically brief (30 seconds for an electrocardiogram performed in the clinic or up to 48 hours with a Holter device). Heart disease is difficult to diagnose because symptoms occur randomly and subsequently require longer screening periods. However, individuals do not typically follow up with a physician unless they are experiencing symptoms. This means that potential issues can go undetected for extended periods of time.
Biotricity’s Biocore is changing the paradigm. Biocore is a compact wearable device that provides continuous heart monitoring, offering insights that were once only available in a clinical setting. With 24/7 monitoring, abnormalities can be detected early, sometimes even before a patient notices symptoms. Biocore is particularly useful for patients with arrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation (AFib). AFib affects approximately 2.7 million Americans and can significantly increase the risk of stroke if left untreated. With Biocore, physicians can monitor heart activity anytime, anywhere, allowing for early intervention to prevent serious events, like a heart attack or stroke.
Empowering Patients with 24/7 Data
Biotricity’s technology not only enhances healthcare providers’ patient care management capabilities but also empowers patients to take control of their own health. With consumer heart monitoring devices like Bioheart, a wearable that continuously collects clinical grade heart data, individuals no longer have to wait for their next appointment to check on their heart health. Data is sent directly to their smartphones and is shareable with healthcare providers, providing users with access to heart rate, rhythm, and other metrics whenever needed.
The data transparency offered by Bioheart provides both convenience and reassurance. According to the American Heart Association, patients who actively monitor their health are 40% more likely to adhere to prescribed treatment plans. With direct access to heart performance data, individuals can make informed decisions, seek medical attention when necessary, and potentially avoid unnecessary emergency room visits or doctor appointments.
Streamlined Care for Healthcare Providers
Biotricity’s remote monitoring platform, Biocare, provides a significant advantage for physicians by allowing them to track multiple patients’ heart data simultaneously, 24/7. For chronic conditions like heart disease, continuous monitoring enables physicians to identify concerning trends without waiting for the next scheduled visit. Biocare alerts healthcare providers to potential issues, facilitating quicker and more informed decision-making.
A study published in The Lancet found that remote patient monitoring can reduce hospital readmissions by up to 30% for patients with chronic conditions like heart failure. With Biotricity’s solution, physicians can detect abnormalities quicker, such as heart rate spikes or concerning ECG changes, allowing them to intervene before complications arise. This proactive approach improves patient care while also enhancing healthcare efficiency by reducing unnecessary office or emergency room visits.
Cardiac Diagnostics Made Easy
Biotricity’s Biokit is another game-changing innovation in chronic care management. This portable, easy-to-use diagnostic kit includes a digital blood pressure cuff, thermometer, and pulse oximeter. These devices capture important biometric data, which can be shared with physicians for analysis. Whether a patient is at home or in a clinical setting, Biokit provides a clearer picture of health, aiding in early detection and timely treatment. By streamlining the diagnostic process, Biokit allows for faster decision-making and treatment planning, benefiting both patients and doctors.
The Future of Cardiac Care: Proactive, Accessible, and Personal
Cardiology Advances projects that by 2030, 75% of U.S. cardiologists will rely on remote monitoring devices for patient care. With innovative tools like Biocore, Bioheart, and Biokit, Biotricity is at the forefront of this transformation, making cardiac care more personalized and effective than ever before. Patients and doctors can now take a proactive approach to heart health, minimizing risks and improving overall quality of care.
Biotricity is leading the way toward a future where heart health is easier to monitor and manage, equipping both patients and healthcare providers with the tools to stay ahead of cardiac conditions before they become critical.
