We love this example of Collaboration and Synergy from members of the Connected Health Cluster – IBM and Heart Rhythm Ireland. Congrats on the success to date, and we’re incredibly optimistic on how this will vastly improve the cardiac health ecosystem, and patient wellbeing.

“The HRI platform supports approximately 50 hospitals across Ireland and is used to monitor devices for 65,000 patients. The organisation has issued over 100,000 cardiac device ID cards, each containing crucial information about the implantable cardiac device and the personal details of the recipient. Additionally, HRI functions as the National Registry for Cardiac Implantable Devices in Ireland.”
The article continues “Since joining IBM Partner Plus and working together over the past eight months, the changes to the HRI platform have been significant. Leveraging the scalability, security and platform monitoring capabilities from IBM Cloud services, HRI can now enable clinicians to access and review data from their patients’ devices more efficiently. For example, by providing automated secure data management, manual steps have been removed from the process allowing clinicians to finalise their reporting after consultations up to 75% faster than before. In terms of return on investment for HRI’s clients, this is significant when one considers the number of patients (65,000) who have an implantable cardiac device monitored by the HRI platform.
