NCT ID NCT03636230
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether people with pacemakers can safely use remote monitoring instead of always going to the clinic. About 848 adults with Medtronic or Abbott pacemakers will use a secure online platform for check-ups, with clinic visits only when needed. The goal is to see if this approach is safe, cost-effective, and improves quality of life.
