TriageHF Plus for remotely monitoring people with cardiac implantable electronic devices at risk of heart failure or worsening heart failure

Equality considerations

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others.

Heart failure is most common in older people, so older people are more likely to use this technology. Age is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. TriageHF Plus can only be used with Medtronic cardiac resynchronisation therapy and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator devices with OptiVol capability.
