Ep 267 - How amazing tech – like Medtronic’s LINQ and beyond – can, will and must change health care
In this episode, MassDevice Editor Chris Newmarker talks with Alan Cheng, MD, chief medical officer at Medtronic’s cardiac rhythm management business about the future of medical-grade cardiac monitors like Medtronic LINQ monitors.
These tiny devices, placed just under the skin, can collect heart rhythm data and transmit it directly to doctors, like Cheng, who is a practicing electrophysiologist. The LINQ II has a battery life of more than four years. How does its functionality compare to consumer monitors, and can LINQ someday find a role as a health tracking tool sold over the counter?
