15.6 Remote monitoring
Remote monitoring (RM) can aid in outpatient care and surveillance of key parameters [71, 359–362]. RM provides a real-time view and transmission of MCS data via secure wireless Internet-based RM settings, thus potentially avoiding unnecessary hospital visits. The use of RM technology has only recently become available for some LT-MCS systems. Future developments may ease troubleshooting, provide more data from the patient and the pump and eventually increase physician and patient satisfaction.
