Arrhythmias & electrophysiology
European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) perspective on the digital data revolution in arrhythmia management: insights from the association’s annual summit
Authors' conclusion
Overall, digital innovations, if coupled with regulatory alignment, interoperability standards, and equitable access, have the potential to shift arrhythmia management toward a more predictive, personalized, and efficient model of care.
Study context
- Population
- Digital health in arrhythmia care: Remote monitoring (RM) of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), mHealth, artificial intelligence (AI) and the European Health Data Space
- Outcome
- Current state and future directions of digital health in arrhythmia care (RM of CIEDs, mHealth, AI, EHDS)
Methodological detailsEHRA Summit report
- EHRA Summit report
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- RM central to CIED follow-up, improving outcomes and reducing healthcare use; reimbursement, workforce adaptation and data interoperability challenges persist
- mHealth tools (apps, wearables) offer accurate arrhythmia detection but face regulatory, digital literacy and privacy barriers
- AI promising in prediction, monitoring and data integration but lacks standardised, transparent validation
- European Health Data Space (EHDS) aims at cross-border data sharing for personalised care and real-world research; ethical, legal and infrastructural issues to address
