Implicity’s EVIDENCE-RM Study Demonstrates Marked Improvement in ICD Patient Outcomes

Published

Comprehensive analysis of real-world data shows significant clinical and medico-economic advantages of Implicity’s universal, alert-based remote monitoring platform

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — IMPLICITY®, a leader in remote patient monitoring and cardiac data management solutions, today unveiled new findings from its EVIDENCE-RM study¹. Leveraging extensive data from the French National Health Data System (SNDS), the study demonstrated clear clinical and medico-economic benefits associated with Implicity’s universal monitoring system (UMS) compared to conventional, manufacturer-specific systems, including Abbott, Biotronik, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic.

The study, recently published in Heart Rhythm, analyzed clinical outcomes and costs for over 69,000 patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and defibrillators with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-Ds). Patients remotely monitored using Implicity’s platform showed increased survival rates and a reduction in both the number and duration of all-cause and heart failure-related hospitalizations, resulting in substantial healthcare cost reductions. Key findings attributed to Implicity’s IM009² platform include:

26% reduction in mortality (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.73–0.77; P=.001)4% decrease in HF hospitalizations, total corrected healthcare costs, and mean duration of hospitalization17.8% decrease in hospital-related costs, primarily driven by decreased costs in cardiovascular disease careIncremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) of approximately –$112 USD (-103€) per Day Alive and Out of Hospital (DAOH) based on the French Healthcare System

“Managing patients with ICDs and CRTs presents considerable challenges, since they are at high risk of hospitalization due to arrhythmias and heart failure,” said Dr. Niraj Varma, Professor of Medicine and Director, Cardiac Pacing & Tachyarrhythmia Devices at the Cleveland Clinic. “The EVIDENCE-RM study clearly demonstrates that a universal monitoring solution operating alert-based remote monitoring can significantly reduce these risks, improving patient outcomes and substantially lowering healthcare costs. This is an important advancement in our ability to proactively manage patients with ICDs and CRTs.”

“These findings mark a pivotal moment in remote cardiac care and prove Implicity’s effectiveness with unparalleled clinical results,” stated Implicity CEO Dr. Arnaud Rosier. “A 26% reduction in mortality and better use of healthcare resources highlight the impact of universal remote monitoring, driven by AI, over fragmented manufacturer-specific systems. Implicity is committed to driving innovation so that every cardiac patient receives proactive, efficient care.”

IM009 is a software as a medical device (SaMD) intended to be used as an adjunct of a remote monitoring platform to follow-up target population patients. IM009 is compatible with devices with remote monitoring feature such as cardiac implantable electronic devices and connected weight scales. The three main intents of IM009 are to (1) label observations generated by medical devices according to predefined categories, (2) create clinically relevant observations for worsening atrial fibrillation and/or rapid weight gain in the context of heart failure, based on data recorded by the device and (3) label Atrial Fibrillation burden observations generated by cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) as to be hidden or relevant for health care provider based on patient’s anticoagulation status. Hence, IM009 is designed to reduce the workload burden of healthcare providers/professionals in charge of reviewing the observations received from the patients’ devices. IM009 is not intended for use in life supporting or sustaining systems or Alarm devices and as a solely means of diagnosis. It is offered to healthcare providers/professionals on an advisory basis only in conjunction with the physician’s knowledge of ECG patterns, patient background, clinical history, symptoms, and other diagnostic information.

The Great Reset, the First Photorealistic AI Film Makes History at the Cannes Film Festival

Published

on

By

The film produced entirely with artificial intelligence positions Spanish filmmaker Daniel H. Torrado as a pioneer in a new era of cinema.

CANNES, France, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following its screening at the European Film Market of the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) last February, the apocalyptic sci-fi thriller ‘The Great Reset’ has been presented at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film. It is the first time that a feature film created with artificial intelligence (AI) has been presented at the world’s leading professional film market, where it has aroused significant interest among distributors and specialised media.

The work, written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Daniel H. Torrado, is both a narrative and technological milestone and positions the Spanish filmmaker as a pioneer in a new era of cinema.

The innovative impact of ‘The Great Reset’ has been recognised by the prestigious specialist magazine The Hollywood Reporter, which dedicated in its special edition on the Cannes Film Festival an article entitled ‘Spain tests the waters of artificial intelligence’. The article highlights the pioneering role of the film and especially Torrado’s participation in the advances of artificial intelligence in the audiovisual field.

It is a production of the companies Virtual World Pictures and Canary Film Factory.

The project began in 2023 with the writing of the script. Over the last year, the AI workflow has been designed and optimised, including fine-tuning of the models, to ensure full control over the creativity of the material generated. Although the entire film was computer generated, and all sets and characters were created digitally, some scenes used actors as reference for acting and dubbing.

AI was involved in all stages of production and post-production, from image and animation generation to sound design, but always with human supervision.

“We are very proud to present The Great Reset at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film, a space where the most innovative ideas in contemporary cinema converge. It will undoubtedly be a key impulse to introduce the world to this story that explores not only the narrative potential of AI, but also its ability to transform the film industry,” said Torrado.

In the film, an artificial intelligence, created from the mind of an unscrupulous hacker, sets in motion an apocalyptic plan to destroy the world in order to save the only person he has ever loved: his daughter. Faced with the collapse of humanity and the echoes of a broken past, Emma embarks on a desperate race to save the world.
