Overview

• Patients receive the Philips ePatch by post and apply the self-adhesive device at home for several days before returning it by mail.
• Cardiologs’s AI analyses the recorded data and flags normal, review or urgent cases with a traffic light system for clinician review.
• Early results at Frimley Health show a twofold increase in diagnostic throughput and 2.5 times more detection of clinically relevant arrhythmias compared with traditional Holter monitors.
• Simplified application allows trained nurses to fit patches, easing the burden on scarce specialist physiologists and cutting patient visits.
• The success of the pilot is driving plans to scale the ePatch programme across the NHS to reduce waiting lists and improve cardiac care.
