Medtronic Cardiocom business vice-president Daniel Cosentino said: "As more health systems and accountable care organisations look toward maximising value and population health models, post-acute care providers are playing a critical role in ensuring patients remain healthy through the transition from the hospital to their homes."

"The Commander Flex system will help LHC to carry out daily monitoring of symptoms and vital signs to predict events, assess risk, and communicate with patients before an acute event such as hospitalisation."

The deal will allow Medtronic to provide telehealth devices for LHC’s existing care transitions programme, Transitions, Training and Triage (T3).

According to Medtronic, T3 is the disease management approach, which was clinically proven to reduce emergency room visits and prevent avoidable readmissions.
