COVID-19 has changed the future of cardiac monitoring with the growing emphasis on home-based care due to constraints on hospital bed capacity and a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals. Coronavirus affects the heart leading to an increase in patient pool and positively impacting screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of patients for cardiovascular conditions. DETECT study showed that COVID-19 patients experienced a slowdown in resting heart rate. This is leading to significant increase in patient pool requiring long-term cardiac monitoring.

There is growing focus on the adoption of home-based cardiac monitoring technologies, such as remote patient monitoring (RPM. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), cloud technologies and predictive analytics are finding increasing applications in the cardiac monitoring space.
