what is remote monitoring?Do you mean a phone call appointment?
The term remote monitoring means monitoring your
heart and implanted device while you are at home, and 'remote' from the care
team at your hospital. Remote monitoring of pacemakers, ICDs and ILRs uses a
special transmitter. Using an integrated aerial, the implant automatically sends
medical and technical information from your heart, to your doctor, arrhythmia
nurse and the cardiac physiologists who are treating you, usually via your
remote monitoring device which may be connected through a mobile phone or
internet link.
This allows your heart rhythm specialists to monitor your condition
based on accurate, up-to-date clinical information at any time – not just when
you are at the hospital.
Hopefully this helps, if not just let me know.
Thank you.
I misread your post Sharon - ie if you have had the remoting montoring system duing the pandemic - I haven't but still filled in the survey.
However my answers would all still concur should I have had done.

Link didn’t work for me - or I already completed it because I seem to remember being already surveyed for this?
Yes, I have Medtronic Pacemaker which is monitored through my mobile phone app.
Great - meant I didn’t need to attend Pacemaker clinic in July although my Jan appointment still stands to date but I’m going to ring and cancel because no way do I want to visit the hospital this month.
