European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) perspective on the digital data revolution in arrhythmia management: insights from the association’s annual summit
- Narrative review
- EHRA Summit report
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
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Current state and future directions of digital health in arrhythmia care (RM of CIEDs, mHealth, AI, EHDS)
- 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
