LATITUDE Patient Management
LATITUDE Patient Management is a remote monitoring
system that gives your health care provider access to
your implanted device data between scheduled office
visits. The LATITUDE system is designed to improve
patient care while providing convenience to you.
The LATITUDE system uses advanced security
methods to protect your personal medical information.
Only authorized health care providers have access to
your information through the secure clinician website.
The LATITUDE system is not intended to assist with
medical emergencies. If you are not feeling well, call
your health care provider or dial 911.
The LATITUDE Communicator
The LATITUDE Communicator is an in-home
monitoring system that uses a wireless communication
system to communicate with your implanted device.
The Communicator does not provide continuous
monitoring. It automatically reads implanted device
information at times scheduled by your health care
provider.
At scheduled intervals, the Communicator sends
your device data to the LATITUDE system through a
standard telephone line or over a cellular data network
using the LATITUDE Cellular Data Plan (see page
41). The Communicator receives periodic schedule
updates made by your health care provider when it
connects to the LATITUDE system.
