Heart failure (HF) is associated with a high mortality rate and recurrent hospitalizations.

To present the first data of the patients using the innovative solution Satelia® Cardio (NP Medical/WeHealth™ Digital Medicine).

Satelia® Cardio is a HF patient management solution with a remote monitoring system and a therapeutic guidance by dedicated nurse phone platform, supported by ETAPES Program. The system is accessible from any devices, requiring no installation, and the use is possible by non-connected patients. After the inclusion, the patient is contacted by the nurse, he then receives an SMS alert on regular basis, with a link leading to a web page to answer 7 questions, and to give his current body weight. Satelia algorithm is based on this signs,their variability, and the weight. In case of worsening of symptoms, the cardiologist will be notified.

124 centers (200 cardiologists) are using Satelia® Cardio with 1832 HF patients monitored in the last 18 months. The patients, mean age of 72 years (19-97) are predominantly males (69%), and mostly NYHA II/III (68%/30%). The adherence to the system is very good (81%) with 86% of patients still monitored (N=1569). The main reasons for stopping are related to the occurrence of death (105/263) or non-fatal events (71/263), or patient decision (87/263). Over the period of analysis, the HF patients answered to 46 637 questionnaires, generating 2429 alerts transmitted to the referent cardiologists. Since Covid-19 lockdown, more than 600 patients have been monitored with the solution.

Patient management solution with a remote monitoring system is key to improving the follow-up of HF patients. The solution Satelia® Cardio is an easy way to use a web application to monitor HF patients, accepted by the patients with a low rate of premature discontinuation. A further step will be to initiate studies to assess the clinical impact of such remote monitoring solution in HF.
