CardioNexus launches new clinician app, built with New Zealand tech partner Webtools

SECTOR UPDATE - CardioNexus

CardioNexus today announced the launch of its new Clinician App, a mobile companion to the CardioNexus remote cardiac monitoring portal, developed in partnership with New Zealand technology company Webtools.

The app is rolling out across Australia, where CardioNexus already supports cardiology services with triaged remote monitoring of implanted cardiac devices.

Designed for cardiologists on the move

Cardiologists rarely spend their day at a desk. They move between clinics, wards, cath labs and hospitals, where access to a laptop is limited but their phone is always within reach. The CardioNexus Clinician App is built for exactly those moments.

Today, monitoring patients with implanted cardiac devices typically means logging into a separate portal for every device manufacturer. Each portal has its own interface, its own login and its own alerts.

The CardioNexus Clinician App removes that burden. Every alert, from every device manufacturer, is brought into a single view on the clinician’s phone. Critically, each alert has already been triaged based on the Cardiologist’s alert preferences reviewed and summarised by a CardioNexus cardiac physiologist. That means cardiologists see only the alerts they have asked to see, presented with the clinical context that matters and with the noise already filtered out.

From the phone, clinicians can:

• Read a clear summary of the alert and why it was escalated
  
• Open the full device manufacturer report when they want the underlying detail
  
• Request adjustments to alert parameters, so monitoring is tuned to each patient
  
• Acknowledge alerts and close the loop
  
• Assign follow up tasks to their support team directly from the alert
  

The result is a digital experience that fits the way cardiologists work.

Built in partnership with Webtools

The app was developed jointly with Webtools, a New Zealand based technology company with deep
experience in clinical and enterprise software. The partnership pairs CardioNexus’ clinical and
cardiac physiology expertise with Webtools’ engineering and digital product capability.

“Cardiologists told us they were tired of logging into four or five different manufacturer portals just to stay on top of their patients. Our cardiac physiologists already do the clinical heavy lifting, reviewing and summarising every alert before it reaches the cardiologist. The app simply puts that trusted, prefiltered view in their pocket. Working with Webtools, we have built a product that respects their time, their workflow, and the clinical seriousness of every alert.” CardioNexus spokesperson

“This is a great example of trans-Tasman collaboration in health technology. We are proud to have helped bring this product to market.” Webtools spokesperson

Talking to New Zealand cardiologists

The CardioNexus service is currently delivered in Australia. With Webtools as a New Zealand partner,
CardioNexus is keen to hear from New Zealand cardiologists who would be interested in exploring
how the service could support cardiac care locally. Interested clinicians are warmly invited to get in
touch
