First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether mailing informational postcards to patients with heart devices (like pacemakers or defibrillators) who had lost remote monitoring connection would help them reconnect. Over 2,700 patients from VA hospitals took part. The goal was to see if a simple reminder could improve how often patients stay linked to their care team.
