These resources remain accessible and may continue to offer practical guidance and insight for healthcare professionals. Click on the links below to explore resources.
Background
Dr. M Santhana Krishnan, Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry/ Senior Clinical Director, and Lauren Bennett, Innovations Coordinator, along with colleagues from Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust have developed a remote ECG pathway using the KardiaMobile 6L device– the world’s only six-lead CE marked, and FDA cleared personal six-lead ECG.
Initially the team implemented the pathway to support patients and staff during the Covid-19 pandemic and the benefits and evaluation results from patient’s and staff has been overwhelmingly positive. The Trust has now taken the decision to use these on a permanent basis, procuring and distributing over 100 devices across 100 community teams.
HI NENC supported further spread and adoption of this pathway across the region, including Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW), who have procured 40 devices.
