Imagineer Tech Showcase - HeartLogic™ Heart Failure Diagnostic Novel Heart Failure Sensors & Automated Predictive Monitoring in a Post-COVID-19 World-HeartLogic™

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Kenneth Stein, Chief Medical Officer of Boston Scientific, discusses the HeartLogic heart failure diagnostic and the role of automated predictive monitoring for heart failure patients. The HeartLogic system uses a combination of different physiologic sensors to create an index that predicts heart failure decompensations. The algorithm takes into account heart rate, respiration, transthoracic impedance, patient activity, and heart sounds. The system has been validated in clinical trials and has shown high sensitivity for detecting heart failure events with a low rate of false alerts. The goal of the system is to provide early warnings to clinicians so that they can intervene before the decompensation occurs. Dr. Stein also discusses the importance of remote monitoring and the potential for incorporating predictive maintenance in the management of heart failure patients. The future goal is to expand the use of predictive algorithms like HeartLogic to a broader range of devices and provide more information directly to patients through a patient app.
