A&D PLUSCONNECT Wireless Weight Scale
Smartphone
Description
Digitally-connected scale to monitor patients’ weights.
Clinical Indication
- Heart failure with reduced or preserved ejection fraction
- History of fluid overload
- Desired weight loss
- New exercise regimen
- Athletes
Evidence Base
- Remotely managed patients recently hospitalized for heart failure had fewer unplanned cardiovascular hospitalizations and days in the hospital, lower rates of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and improved quality of life compared to patients with usual care only. Prescher S, Koehler K, Koehler F. e-Health in cardiology: remote patient management of heart failure patients. e-Journal of Cardiology Practice. 2020;18(26).
- The randomized, multicenter “Telemedical Interventional Management in Heart Failure II (TIM-HF2)” trial showed for the first time a significant improvement in all-cause mortality based on non-invasive remote management. Telemedicine patients had to spend fewer days in the hospital due to unplanned cardiovascular admissions - on average, 3.8 days compared to 5.6 days in the usual care group. In terms of all-cause mortality, out of 100 heart failure patients in the year of care, only eight patients of the remote management group (7.8 per 100 patient-years) died, while eleven patients died under the usual medical care conditions (11.3 per 100 patient-years). Koehler F, Koehler K, Deckwart O, Prescher S, Wegscheider K, Kirwan BA, Winkler S, Vettorazzi E, Bruch L, Oeff M, Zugck C, Doerr G, Naegele H, Stork S, Butter C, Sechtem U, Angermann C, Gola G, Prondzinsky R, Edelmann F, Spethmann S, Schellong SM, Schulze PC, Bauersachs J, Wellge B, Schoebel C, Tajsic M, Dreger H, Anker SD, Stangl K. Efficacy of telemedical interventional management in patients with heart failure (TIM-HF2): a randomised, controlled, parallel-group, unmasked trial. Lancet. 2018;392:1047-57.
