OPTIMUM Study of Remote Patient Monitoring in Ambulatory Heart Failure Care

Sponsor: Médipôle Lyon-Villeurbanne

Summary

Heart failure is a leading cause of hospitalization and readmission, particularly among older adults with multiple comorbidities. Traditional outpatient follow-up may be insufficient to detect early clinical deterioration in this vulnerable population. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) using non-invasive symptom and weight tracking has been proposed to enhance ambulatory care, but its effectiveness appears to depend on integration within structured care pathways. The OPTIMUM study evaluated the real-world implementation of an integrated ambulatory heart failure care pathway combining non-invasive RPM with multidisciplinary follow-up in routine clinical practice. Patients enrolled after a recent heart failure hospitalization were managed using the Satelia® Cardio monitoring system, nurse-led therapeutic education, and a planned cardio-geriatric day-hospital reassessment. The study aimed to describe pathway implementation and assess associations with rehospitalizations, mortality, alert activity, and patient and healthcare professional satisfaction in an older, frail population.
