American Heart Month: Top 5 Heart Health Technologies

Written by Kajeet | Feb 25, 2025 4:55:35 PM

Did you know that February is American Heart Month? This month is dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular health and the innovations shaping the future of care. This annual observance was first proclaimed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 and aims to highlight the importance of heart health education, lifestyle changes, and early detection of heart disease. The month is supported by organizations like the American Heart Association which promotes initiatives such as Go Red for Women to advocate for heart health awareness.

With heart disease remaining the leading cause of death worldwide, advancements in medical technology are more important than ever. In this blog, we explore the top 5 innovative heart health technologies making a significant impact in 2025, helping individuals and healthcare professionals alike to monitor cardiovascular conditions.

Top 5 Heart Health Tech for 2025

  1. Remote Patient Monitoring Systems – RPM systems enable doctors to track patients’ heart health in real time without in-person visits. These systems typically include Bluetooth-enabled devices such as blood pressure cuffs and wireless scales that sync with mobile apps. A 2024 RPM in cardiac care study showed a 65% reduction in hospital admissions, and 85% decrease in inpatient services for patients, and $615,127 in patient claims cost savings.
  2. Wearable ECG Devices – Portable devices such as Apple Watches or FitBit have transformed heart health monitoring by making ECG tracking more accessible. These consumer devices can detect irregular heart rhythms and send alerts to users. For those in need of continuous cardiac monitoring, technologies such as the VivaLNK Wearable ECG Patch enables the early detection of critical physiological events, ensuring prompt alerts for medical attention.
  3. AI-Powered Technologies – Machine learning algorithms analyze patient data to predict heart disease risk and improve early detection. AI also assists radiologists and cardiologists in interpreting complex heart scans for faster and more precise data. One example of technology in this space is iRhythm, a cardiac monitoring service that uses deep-learned algorithms to Detects 13 types of arrhythmia classes.
  4. Cardiac Devices – Cardiac devices such as pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators play a large role in managing arrhythmias and preventing cardiac arrest. Modern pacemakers not only help regulate abnormal heart rhythms but also offer wireless connectivity for remote monitoring by providers. Medtronic pacemakers with Bluetooth connects to an app, replacing the bedside monitor. This technology provides patients and healthcare providers with visibility into heart device data and has resulted in 95% patient transmission adherence and is designed to address 40% of clinic call burden.
  5. Digital Health Tools – Telemedicine platforms have significantly improved heart disease management by empowering patients with data-driven insights. Telehealth services allow cardiologists to monitor and consult with patients remotely, increasing access to care for individuals in rural or underserved areas.
