Remote Monitoring of the Jugular Venous Pressure: A home monitoring solution for congestive heart failure
FY 2020-21 · 2020-09-01
Summary
The JVPHome is a medical device enabling remote monitoring of heart failure patients following discharge from hospital. Heart failure is a life-threatening disorder with ~ 25% of patients being readmitted to hospital within 30 days following initial discharge. The JVPHome promises to dramatically reduce these readmissions by enabling clinicians to remotely visualize the jugular venous pressure (JVP; neck vein height) and adjust medications to prevent recurrent heart failure. Although the JVP can be visually identified, its identification remains a challenge.
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted more than ever the importance of effective home monitoring solutions for patients with chronic diseases such as congestive heart failure.

Description (French)
Le JVPHome est un dispositif médical qui permet de surveiller à distance les patients souffrant d'insuffisance cardiaque après leur sortie de l'hôpital. L'insuffisance cardiaque est un trouble qui met la vie en danger. Environ 25 % des patients sont réadmis à l'hôpital dans les 30 jours suivant leur sortie initiale. Le JVPHome promet de réduire considérablement ces réadmissions en permettant aux cliniciens de visualiser à distance la pression veineuse jugulaire (PVJ; hauteur de la veine du cou) et d'ajuster les médicaments pour prévenir les insuffisances cardiaques récurrentes. Bien que la PVJ puisse être repérée visuellement, son repérage reste un défi. La pandémie de la Covid-19 a plus que jamais souligné l'importance de solutions efficaces de surveillance à domicile pour les patients atteints de maladies chroniques telles que l'insuffisance cardiaque congestive.
