The Heart failure segment covers the user and revenue development for three eHealth product categories for people with chronic heart failure: (1) connected medical devices for heart failure patients (“Smart Devices”), (2) digital heart tracking applications for smartphone and/or tablets (“Apps”) and (3) telemedical services for heart failure patients (“Telemedical Services”). Hardware and software solutions for healthcare professionals, e.g. medical equipment for hospitals and doctors’ surgeries are not included.

The “Smart Devices” segment covers medical devices (hardware) for people who suffer from chronic heart failure which are equipped with dedicated interfaces or SIM cards that serve to transmit measurement data across a wireless connection (e.g. via mobile networks, WiFi, bluetooth, M2M technologies, NFC, BLE). In the context of heart failure therapy there are various devices that can be used, for example, cardiac implants (ICD, CRT, CRT-D devices), connected weighing scales, Tele-ECG-cards, and (implantable) ECG recorders. The selection of suitable equipment is dependent on the individual health status of the patient, the severity of the heart failure and the presence of other conditions (e.g. the combination of both severe heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias). Depending on the measuring system, additional hardware revenues can fall under this market segment if additional reading or transmitting devices are implemented. Connected devices for heart patients are often used in combination with a telemedical monitoring service.
