Minneapolis – Preventice Solutions announced today it received a tender from the UK Biobank to provide the BodyGuardian® MINI remote cardiac monitor for a cardiovascular monitoring study involving up to 30,000 participants. The study is designed to capture data on asymptomatic heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmia), including atrial fibrillation (AF), a common arrhythmia that can lead to stroke and cognitive decline (dementia).

Not only will the study capture real-life heart rhythm information, but it is being undertaken on UK Biobank volunteers who have undergone heart and brain MRI as part of the biggest imaging study ever done.

The study has been funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and is led by Professor Barbara Casadei, who is BHF Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine, at the Cardiovascular Medicine Division of the Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford.

Professor Casadei said: “Atrial fibrillation is a common condition that can go unnoticed until it causes a stroke or cognitive decline. We desperately need to know more about its causes and how it can be better treated.”

“UK Biobank provides us with an ideal opportunity to integrate a large amount of health, genetics and lifestyle information with heart rhythm data on a huge number of people. Importantly these individuals will have also undergone an MRI heart, body and brain scan. It is not often that all these opportunities for discovery come together – because of this, we believe this study will provide important answers about the management and risk associated with asymptomatic AF and other clinically silent arrhythmias.”

Preventice Solutions Chief Executive Officer Jon Otterstatter, said: “The BodyGuardian® MINI was designed to enhance compliance through ease-of-use and comfort based on its small size and waterproof design allowing participants to go about their daily activities without interruption. We look forward to helping researchers pursue this important research and are pleased to partner with the UK Biobank, British Heart Foundation and the Radcliffe Department of Medicine at Oxford as they collaborate on important research efforts to further understand AF and its impact on stroke and cognitive decline.”

This study is part of the UK Biobank Imaging Project, which is almost halfway to its goal of collecting detailed brain, heart and body scans of 100,000 of its volunteer participants. The BodyGuardian® MINI remote cardiac monitor will be used to obtain longer term heart rhythm data on a subset of participants 65 years of age and older. The project is anticipated to last around three years.

The BodyGuardian® MINI is the smallest, reusable Holter monitor available. It records important physiological data such as heart rate, ECG and related activity, allowing physicians to monitor vital signs outside the clinical setting. Unlike many other remote monitors, the MINI device offers a wearable patch that can be moved and reapplied to optimize comfort and wearability, without jeopardizing data collection or requiring the participant to return to the clinic. In addition, it is fully waterproof, allowing participants the freedom to go about their daily life without interrupting cardiac monitoring.

UK Biobank is a major national and international health resource, and a registered charity in its own right, with the aim of improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of serious and life-threatening illnesses – including cancer, heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, eye disorders, depression and forms of dementia. UK Biobank recruited 500,000 people aged between 40-69 years in 2006-2010 from across the country to take part in this project. They have undergone measures, provided blood, urine and saliva samples for future analysis, detailed information about themselves and agreed to have their health followed. Over many years this will build into a powerful resource to help scientists discover why some people develop particular diseases and others do not.

The British Heart Foundation funds over £100 million of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Their vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. The Foundation raises money to research cures and treatments to beat heartbreak forever.

The Radcliffe Department of Medicine at Oxford was formed in 2012 and is a multi-disciplinary department with research interests that span the translational spectrum – from basic biology through to clinical application. The department’s ultimate aim is patient benefit, through improved understanding, diagnosis and treatment of disease.

Duration of External ECG Monitoring is Critical to Detecting Atrial Fibrillation

Data show greater than 10 percent of patients with atrial fibrillation are missed if monitoring is stopped at 14 days versus monitoring for at least 28 days

Minneapolis - May 9, 2019 – Preventice Solutions announced today the presentation of data showing the critical impact the length of the monitoring period has when using ambulatory remote ECG monitoring to detect atrial fibrillation (AF). While the Preventice BodyGuardian® Remote Monitoring System has the capability and reimbursement to support patient monitoring for up to one month, it is common practice with many currently available monitoring technologies to limit the monitoring period to one to two weeks. This truncated duration of monitoring is associated with “missed” AF in more than 10 percent of patients, many of whom have greater than one hour of AF. The data was presented Heart Rhythm 2019, the Heart Rhythm Society's 40th Annual Scientific Sessions by Suneet Mittal, MD, FHRS from The Valley Hospital and Pooja Mehta and Michael McRoberts from the Preventice data science team.

“In the case of AF, data on the appropriate use of monitoring technologies, including the prescription of a sufficient monitoring period out to a full 28-days, is an important consideration,” said Dr. Suneet Mittal, MD, Associate Chair of Cardiovascular Services for Valley Medical Group, Medical Director of The Valley Hospital’s Snyder Center for Comprehensive Atrial Fibrillation, and Director of Cardiac Research for Valley Health System. “Medicine is moving away from the transactional approach, which involves the doctor only thinking about the patient when the patient is in the clinic. Remote monitoring is changing that paradigm because there is physiologic data that can be captured between visits and used to inform clinical decisions that will optimize care. With AF, there are different patient populations. It is critical to ensure the monitoring technology is fully leveraged to make an appropriate diagnosis and gauge the burden on the patient, which informs our treatment approach.”

The study was a retrospective analysis designed to compare the incremental yield of AF detection when ambulatory remote ECG monitoring is extended from 14 to 28 days. In the study, data was evaluated from 25,457 randomly selected patients who had undergone monitoring with the BodyGuardian® Remote Monitoring System. The results show at least one AF episode was present for 4,033 patients (15.8 percent) during the 28-day monitoring period. Of those who had AF, 424 patients (10.5 percent) would have been missed if the monitoring period had been truncated at 14 days. From those 424 patients, 352 (or 8.7 percent of the 4,033 patients with AF) had AF for greater than 1 hour, and 181 (or 4.5 percent of the 4,033 patients with AF) had AF for greater than 6 hours.

“We have developed the BodyGuardian® Remote Monitoring System to address the critical needs of patients and physicians. We continue to understand, advance and validate the system based on clinical data,” said Jon Otterstatter, Chief Executive Officer, Preventice Solutions. “Influencing a positive effect on outcomes requires that our technology is proven by clinical evaluation and common practice. Our technology was created with the full capability to monitor accurately and effectively for up to one month of data capture. This study shows the importance of leveraging full capabilities of the technology that can lead to complete actionable data and achieve the best outcomes for patients.”

Dr. Mittal has received no compensation from Preventice for his involvement in this project.

Minneapolis - May 8, 2019 – At Heart Rhythm 2019, the Heart Rhythm Society's 40th Annual Scientific Sessions, Preventice Solutions will present clinical data validating its BodyGuardian® Remote Monitoring System with the BeatLogic™ deep learning platform. This technology leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) and was validated using clinician adjudicated data. The BodyGuardian® Remote Monitoring System is designed to create a constant connection to monitor cardiovascular data in patients outside the clinic while they go about their daily activities. The data was presented by Hamid Ghanbari, MD, MPH, FACC from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Ben Teplitzky, PhD, and Mike McRoberts, from the Preventice data science team.

“One of the exciting advances in the diagnosis of AF is the use of machine learning techniques and deep learning technology because it can allow physicians to manage the massive amount of data that is collected,” said Dr. Hamid Ghanbari, MD, MPH, a cardiovascular electrophysiologist at the University of Michigan, where he treats patients who have arrhythmias. “Sensor technologies are creating so much data it’s not feasible for physicians to be able to manage and review all of it. With accurate artificial intelligence to identify AF episodes, physicians can focus more on how their patients are feeling and the treatment approach they should take in each case. Artificial intelligence is freeing up the human potential with remote monitoring technologies.”

Results from the study demonstrate how the BeatLogic™ deep learning platform is used to accurately detect the beginning and end of arrhythmias ensuring accurate burden calculations and maximizing clinical value. The platform leverages multiple deep neural networks to detect AF episodes at rates that meet or exceed the best reported values within the literature. Perfect detection performance was achieved for AF episodes lasting more than one minute.

The study evaluated the AF detection performance of the Preventice BeatLogic™ platform using real-world clinician adjudicated data. The BeatLogic™ platform consists of multiple deep neural networks, which were trained using data from 10,946 BodyGuardian® Heart patients. Performance was measured using real-world BodyGuardian® Heart data from 512 patients that was annotated and then adjudicated by three board certified electrophysiologists. Specific results showed:

• AF duration sensitivity (Se) and a positive predictive value (PPV) were 95.9 percent and 99.2 percent, respectively

• Episode detection Se and PPV were 96.7 percent

• Episode detection Se and PPV increased to 100 percent for AF episodes with duration >1 minute.

Wearable patch ECG monitoring quantifies AF burden using a combination of algorithms and trained technicians. New deep learning algorithms have improved the performance with respect to accurately detecting the presence of AF using algorithms. By leveraging multiple deep learning networks, the Preventice system is capable of accurately capturing the beginning and end of AF episodes, providing physicians with important clinical context for determining the appropriate treatment approach.

“Our focus in advancing Preventice remote monitoring technologies is on how to make these technologies most meaningful to the physician and the patient,” said Jon Otterstatter, Chief Executive Officer, Preventice Solutions. “Given the large amount of data available through remote monitoring, we’re investing heavily in machine learning, designing and validating algorithms. The precise detection of cardiovascular events, like AF, is critical to reaching an accurate diagnosis and treatment.”

Dr. Ghanbari has received consultation fees from Preventice for advising on remote monitoring technology and services.

Alliance breaks down silos of information, putting a single source of triaged data into the hands of clinicians
Orlando – GE Healthcare (NYSE:GE) is working with Preventice Solutions to give clinician tools to follow patients with known or suspected Atrial fibrillation virtually from hospital to home. Atrial fibrillation, or AF, is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications, and, as the population ages globally, AF is predicted to affect 6 to 12 million people in the United States alone by 2050.

The collaboration offers a single vendor solution that is integrated with MUSE for seamless order-to-reporting workflow. According to U.S. News & World Reports, 24 out of 25 top U.S. cardiac hospitals use MUSE1. By integrating with MUSE, data from home-based patients will be made available to clinicians on the same clinical workspace they use every day.

“This development in our relationship with Preventice creates an integrated, longitudinal view of the patient experience,” said GE Healthcare Diagnostic Cardiology General Manager Ashutosh Banerjee. “We’re enabling the ECG record to grow with a richness that will allow the clinician to see how her treatment is working for the patient at home.”

“This partnership is transforming connected care in the industry with our customers benefiting from a consistent patient experience with enhanced clinical insight,” said Preventice Solutions Chief Executive Officer Jon Otterstatter. “This alliance will help standardize the operations and workflow for healthcare providers resulting in improved quality.”

Minneapolis – At Heart Rhythm 2018, the Heart Rhythm Society's 39th Annual Scientific Sessions in Boston, May 9-12, 2018, Preventice Solutions will showcase practical applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in wearable cardiac monitoring technology. Clinical data will be presented in a poster validating the proprietary algorithms that are part of the BodyGuardian® Heart system, which is designed to create a constant connection between patients and their healthcare team. The poster is authored by Ben Teplitzky, PhD, and Mike McRoberts, from the Preventice data science team, and Suneet Mittal, MD, FHRS, from Valley Medical Group.

Preventice Solutions is presenting real-world validation of the unique algorithms used in the BodyGuardian® Heart system to detect ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs), which are a sub-category of abnormal heart contractions that originate from the ventricles. For some patients, these beats signify a potential life-threatening and treatable cardiac irregularity. The proprietary algorithm, when used with mobile cardiac telemetry technology, empowers physicians and healthcare providers with valuable information regarding the occurrence and regularity of VEBs.

In the study, algorithm validation was performed using the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and also using real- world data collected from nearly 2,000 BodyGuardian® Heart patients. Results demonstrate that this proprietary classification model has sensitivity and specificity higher than any previously published fully automated algorithms and demonstrates key short-comings associated with validation performed using only the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database.

“In my opinion, clinicians do not always appreciate the difficulty that ambulatory ECG monitoring systems have in accurately differentiating VEBs from normal sinus rhythm,” said Dr. Mittal. “The application of deep learning to large real-world ECG datasets provides a unique opportunity to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of the algorithms in these ECG monitoring devices.”

Dr. Mittal has received no compensation from Preventice for his involvement in this project.

Houston and Rochester – Preventice Solutions announced today that BodyGuardian® Heart Remote Patient Monitoring System and PatientCare platform will be commercially available in Q3, 2015. Testing with the BodyGuardian® Remote Monitoring System is underway nationally to ensure ongoing improvements and care team efficiency. It will target the use of remote monitoring including:
• Post-surgical cardiac patients to evaluate how monitoring cardiac rhythms remotely influence all phases of recovery.
• 24/7 continuous monitoring of infrequently symptomatic patients as they go about their daily lives, with the objective of detecting potential arrhythmias by tracking ECG, respiratory rate and activity.

Preventice Solutions will demonstrate the BodyGuardian® Heart and the PatientCare Platform at the HRS 2015 http://www.mhealthsummit.org/, one of the industry's leading conferences in research, delivery of arrhythmia care and services, in Boston, MA, May 13-16, 2015.  The BodyGuardian® uses sophisticated algorithms to support remote monitoring for individuals with cardiac arrhythmias.

John Untereker, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, said "Innovative remote monitoring technology will help physicians gain deeper insights into their patients' health by collecting near real-time data.  BodyGuardian® Heart will allow healthcare practitioners to monitor critical measures and manage many patients, thus safeguarding the health and safety of individuals every day.  This approach will ultimately transform how health care is delivered for many common cardiac and chronic diseases."

"We are close to achieving two important milestones for the BodyGuardian with the commercial availability in early summer and robust piloting here in the United States.  The beta testing is a direct indicator of significant interest in BodyGuardian® by early adopters and proves their belief that Preventice Solutions is poised to change the future of remote monitoring," said Jon Otterstatter, President and Chief Global Strategy Officer of Preventice Inc.

"We are excited to partner with Preventice Solutions and pleased to see BodyGuardian® takes another step in its success story. This collaboration represents a great opportunity to provide our patients with remote monitoring," said Dr. Craig J. McCotter, MD, Upstate Cardiology Greenville, South Carolina. "The combination of the BodyGuardian® Heart and the PatientCare Platform allows us to achieve superior monitoring and support our patients at home, as if they were at the clinic."

About BodyGuardian® Heart 
Preventice® received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in August 2012.  The BodyGuardian® System detects records and wirelessly transmits physiological data to support remote monitoring of non-lethal, cardiac arrhythmias in ambulatory patients.

San Francisco – AliveCor, Inc. announced today the launch of a cloud based electrocardiogram (ECG) analytics program with Preventice Solutions, a strategic combination of eCardio Diagnostics and Preventice, a leading provider of remote monitoring products and services.

Using AliveCor’s proprietary algorithms in this pilot program, Preventice Solutions intends to improve its internal workflow by reading the most critical ECGs first. This is a limited pilot program where all ECGs have their final interpretation provided by the award winning independent diagnostic testing facility of eCardio, which is owned by Preventice Solutions; it is the beginning of a new platform for AliveCor’s proprietary algorithms.

AliveCor is known for its AliveCor® Heart Monitor – a mobile ECG device– and its mobile app for consumers called AliveECG. For the first time, the company is evaluating the use of their FDA-cleared algorithms for patients being monitored using an AliveCor device as well as a traditional cardiac event monitor. This potential expansion of AliveCor’s services may extend its automated ECG analytics to cardiac monitoring companies like Preventice Solutions and hospital cardiology departments providing an easy to use, physician-led way of monitoring patients for suspected or diagnosed arrhythmias.

“The intention of this new pilot program is to demonstrate the power of our algorithms and is just the start of a larger ECG based analytics program that we are working to develop and obtain clearance for. We believe that our ECGs and algorithms can provide guidance to medical practitioners and patients and as a result help to make better, more informed decisions,” said Euan Thomson, President and Chief Executive Officer at AliveCor. “Not only can hospitals use our algorithms for screening programs and day-to-day monitoring, we will be able to extend the access of our algorithms to a variety of companies that may have a need to analyze ECGs from traditional or mobile event monitors.”

“We are coming together at a pivotal time in the mobile healthcare industry. As health reform demands more focus on delivering quality outcomes and reducing costs, providers are turning to technology like remote monitoring to diagnose and treat more patients in ways that use time, money and human resources efficiently and effectively. Our shared vision is to become a worldwide leading remote monitoring company” said Jon Otterstatter, President and Chief Global Strategy Officer of Preventice Inc.

This strategic program expands upon AliveCor and Preventice Solutions’ current relationship. Through the AliveECG app, AliveCor users are provided with an analysis service that offers expert review of ECGs, powered by eCardio independent monitoring diagnostic facility owned by Preventice Solutions. Users can send ECG readings to remote cardiac technicians for detailed interpretation, at any time, providing users with a more complete picture of their current heart health. Patients can either pay $2 to get their report back in 24 hours, or $5 to get their report within 30 minutes.
