Implicity’s EVIDENCE-RM Study Demonstrates Marked Improvement in ICD Patient Outcomes

Published

on

Comprehensive analysis of real-world data shows significant clinical and medico-economic advantages of Implicity’s universal, alert-based remote monitoring platform

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IMPLICITY®, a leader in remote patient monitoring and cardiac data management solutions, today unveiled new findings from its EVIDENCE-RM study¹. Leveraging extensive data from the French National Health Data System (SNDS), the study demonstrated clear clinical and medico-economic benefits associated with Implicity’s universal monitoring system (UMS) compared to conventional, manufacturer-specific systems, including Abbott, Biotronik, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic.

The study, recently published in Heart Rhythm, analyzed clinical outcomes and costs for over 69,000 patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and defibrillators with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-Ds). Patients remotely monitored using Implicity’s platform showed increased survival rates and a reduction in both the number and duration of all-cause and heart failure-related hospitalizations, resulting in substantial healthcare cost reductions. Key findings attributed to Implicity’s IM009² platform include:

26% reduction in mortality (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.73–0.77; P=.001)4% decrease in HF hospitalizations, total corrected healthcare costs, and mean duration of hospitalization17.8% decrease in hospital-related costs, primarily driven by decreased costs in cardiovascular disease careIncremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) of approximately –$112 USD (-103€) per Day Alive and Out of Hospital (DAOH) based on the French Healthcare System

“Managing patients with ICDs and CRTs presents considerable challenges, since they are at high risk of hospitalization due to arrhythmias and heart failure,” said Dr. Niraj Varma, Professor of Medicine and Director, Cardiac Pacing & Tachyarrhythmia Devices at the Cleveland Clinic. “The EVIDENCE-RM study clearly demonstrates that a universal monitoring solution operating alert-based remote monitoring can significantly reduce these risks, improving patient outcomes and substantially lowering healthcare costs. This is an important advancement in our ability to proactively manage patients with ICDs and CRTs.”

“These findings mark a pivotal moment in remote cardiac care and prove Implicity’s effectiveness with unparalleled clinical results,” stated Implicity CEO Dr. Arnaud Rosier. “A 26% reduction in mortality and better use of healthcare resources highlight the impact of universal remote monitoring, driven by AI, over fragmented manufacturer-specific systems. Implicity is committed to driving innovation so that every cardiac patient receives proactive, efficient care.”

IM009 is a software as a medical device (SaMD) intended to be used as an adjunct of a remote monitoring platform to follow-up target population patients. IM009 is compatible with devices with remote monitoring feature such as cardiac implantable electronic devices and connected weight scales. The three main intents of IM009 are to (1) label observations generated by medical devices according to predefined categories, (2) create clinically relevant observations for worsening atrial fibrillation and/or rapid weight gain in the context of heart failure, based on data recorded by the device and (3) label Atrial Fibrillation burden observations generated by cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) as to be hidden or relevant for health care provider based on patient’s anticoagulation status. Hence, IM009 is designed to reduce the workload burden of healthcare providers/professionals in charge of reviewing the observations received from the patients’ devices. IM009 is not intended for use in life supporting or sustaining systems or Alarm devices and as a solely means of diagnosis. It is offered to healthcare providers/professionals on an advisory basis only in conjunction with the physician’s knowledge of ECG patterns, patient background, clinical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic information. Class I, according to Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC. See the instructions for use for more information. Covered under the conditions defined in Article L. 162-52 of the French Social Security Code.IM007: 2021. ILR ECG ANALYZER created by Implicity is intended to be used by qualified healthcare professionals for the assessment of arrhythmias in Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) ECG data. ILR ECG ANALYZER supports downloading and analyzing data recorded in compatible formats from ICMs. This version of the ILR ECG ANALYZER only supports ECG data from Medtronic ICMs. ILR ECG ANALYZER is intended to be electronically interfaced with other computer systems (remote monitoring platforms) that supply the ECG data to ILR ECG ANALYZER and receive the output of ILR ECG ANALYZER (analysis) for viewing by healthcare professionals. ILR ECG ANALYZER provides ECG signal processing and analysis, to detect asystole, bradycardia, atrial tachycardia or atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, normal rhythm and artifacts. ILR ECG ANALYZER is not for use in life supporting or sustaining systems or ECG monitor and Alarm devices. ILR ECG ANALYZER interpretation results are not intended to be the sole means of diagnosis. It is offered to physicians and clinicians on an advisory basis only in conjunction with the physician’s knowledge of ECG patterns, patient background, clinical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic information. ILR ECG ANALYZER is interfaced with the compatible remote monitoring platform from which it receives compatible ICM data file input (Medtronic LNQ11 Medtronic REVEAL XT 9529 Medtronic REVEAL DX 9528) and to which it transmits the output. Read carefully all instructions before use. Results: sensitivity: 98.64 % (509/516), false positive rate: 24.03 % (68/283). FDA cleared Class II medical device and CE marked Class I medical device (under medical device directive 93/42).
SignalHF FDA cleared Class II medical device and CE marked Class IIa (under MDR) medical device. Manufacturer: Implicity. The SignalHF System is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals (HCP) managing patients over 18 years old who are receiving physiological monitoring for Heart Failure surveillance and implanted with a compatible Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) (i.e., compatible pacemakers, ICDs, and CRTs). The SignalHF System provides additive information to use in conjunction with standard clinical evaluation. The SignalHF HF Score is intended to calculate the risk of HF for a patient in the next 30 days. This System is intended for adjunctive use with other physiological vital signs and patient symptoms and information and is not intended to independently direct therapy.

Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”
