Connectivity Media Kit

Connectivity Connectivity at St. Jude Medical refers to physicians' ability to remotely monitor patients and maintain the device data they receive in Electronic Health Records (EHRs), which are accessible through the Internet. The intersection of the Internet and mobile technologies with innovative medical device therapies has created the ability to advance patient care through remote monitoring and EHR management. At St. Jude Medical, connectivity involves the communication between our devices, our Merlin.net™ Patient Care Network, our Merlin@home™ transmitter and EHRs.

There are many components involved in connectivity: the programmer used in the physician's office to establish and optimize the device settings; the patient care network that stores device information or transfers the information to an electronic health record; the device itself, transmitting remotely using radiofrequency; and the unit that allows patients to transmit data at home from their device to their physician.
