The position paper of the working group 33/Telemonitoring in the German Society for Cardiology e. V. (DGK) discusses the importance of digital solutions in the German health care system and highlights the application possibilities and potentials of telemonitoring in the treatment of patients with cardiac diseases. In addition to telemonitoring of acute ischaemic diseases, acute coronary syndrome and acute cardiac arrhythmias, telemonitoring of chronic cardiac diseases is discussed. Chronic diseases, such as chronic heart failure, are age-associated and present society with the great challenge of providing high-quality, yet cost-efficient care to an increasing number of patients in the future. Telemonitoring offers an opportunity to meet this challenge. However, the introduction of telemonitoring and the associated changes for patients, doctors and other service providers must be accompanied by measures to ensure the acceptance of telemonitoring and the secure handling of sensitive data as well as the quality of telemonitoring services.

Real-time continuous glucose monitoring improves postoperative glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting: A randomized clinical trial.

Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Effective glycaemic control following cardiac surgery improves clinical outcomes, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) might be a valuable tool in achieving this objective. We investigated the effect of real-time CGM and telemonitoring on postoperative glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: In this randomized clinical trial (RCT), adults with T2D undergoing CABG were assigned to either a test group utilizing real-time CGM (Dexcom G6) and telemetry for glycaemic control, or a control group with blinded CGM measures, relying on point-of-care measures.
Enhancing Surgical Wound Monitoring: A Paired Cohort Study Evaluating a New AI-Based Application for Automatic Detection of Potential Infections.

This study assessed the feasibility and security of remote surgical wound monitoring using the RedScar© smartphone app, which employs automated diagnosis for early visual detection of infections without direct healthcare personnel involvement. Additionally, patient satisfaction with telematic care was evaluated as a secondary aim. Surgical site infection (SSI) is the second leading cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), leading to prolonged hospital stays, heightened patient distress, and increased healthcare costs.

: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), associated with a significant burden on patients' lives, are becoming increasingly common. Patients with IBD need continuous treatment and lifelong monitoring, which could be achieved by telemonitoring. Telemonitoring has been shown to be effective in improving outcomes for patients with IBD, and can provide a more convenient and accessible way for patients to receive care.
