The Clinical Platform for Cardiac Device Management and National Registry
Heart Rhythm International is a cardiac device management platform and living registry infrastructure, designed to operate at every scale of cardiac service, from a single device clinic to a national health system. Deployed as Ireland's national cardiac device registry since 2008. Built for clinical teams. Trusted across all private and the majority of public cardiac device services nationwide.
One governed system replacing fragmented spreadsheets, paper logs, and manual safety notice tracking.
One Platform. Every Scale of Cardiac Service.
HRI operates simultaneously as a clinical management platform and a living registry. These are not two separate systems. They are the same infrastructure, designed so that every clinical interaction at the point of care contributes to a longitudinal registry record that compounds in value over time.
Single Hospital
A cardiac device clinic can deploy HRI to manage its full implant and follow-up workflow, support device regulation compliance requirements, and give its clinical team real-time visibility of their patient population from day one.
Hospital Network
Multiple sites within a trust, group, or regional health network operate on a shared HRI infrastructure, enabling cross-site reporting within the network, unified follow-up management, and consistent clinical governance across the entire network.
National Infrastructure
At the highest level of deployment, HRI operates as a complete national registry. This is the model that has been running in Ireland since 2008 and is now being extended into new markets internationally.
From First Implant to Final Explant. Every Procedure. Every Follow-Up.
HRI captures the complete lifecycle of every cardiac device and lead, from the initial implant through every follow-up, box change, upgrade, revision, reposition, and explant across the patient's lifetime. Every cath lab procedure, every clinic visit, every clinical decision is recorded in a single longitudinal record. This is not a collection of disconnected modules. It is one governed platform where data entered at any point in the clinical journey is immediately available across the hospital's entire cardiac service.
Implant Registration
Complete structured capture of every cardiac device implant, including device and lead identification, procedural detail, and patient demographics, with barcode scanning for GS1/UDI device identification at the point of implant.
Follow-Up Management
Structured recording of every follow-up observation, including device interrogation data, clinical measurements, and clinician notes, building the longitudinal record that gives HRI its analytical depth.
Appointment Scheduling
Clinic scheduling linked directly to patient device records, with automated alerts for overdue follow-ups, DNA tracking, and workload management across the cardiac service.
Custom Clinical Dashboards
Configurable dashboards give cardiac teams and health service managers real-time visibility across the full device service: implant volumes, device type and manufacturer breakdowns, age group analysis, overdue follow-up rates, and Field Safety Notice response status.
Field Safety Notice Response
Structured FSN management from alert receipt through patient identification, clinical review, and documented response. HRI turns what is typically a manual, time-intensive process into a governed, auditable workflow that designed to meet the evidentiary standards regulators expect.
Cardiac Device ID Cards
HRI can provide digital and physical ID cards to implanted patients, carrying the device information that matters in any clinical setting, anywhere in the world.
Integrated with the World's Leading Cardiac Device Manufacturers
HRI works with every major cardiac device manufacturer, providing direct integration with device programmers at the point of care and building toward unified connectivity with remote monitoring platforms across all manufacturers.
Medpoints Partner Programme member. Programmer integration for real-time data capture at implant and follow-up.
Abbott Together Partner Programme member. Direct programmer integration across the Abbott device portfolio.
Programmer integration supporting the full Boston Scientific cardiac rhythm management device range.
Programmer integration across the Biotronik cardiac device portfolio, supporting implant and follow-up workflows.
Remote Monitoring Integration
HRI is actively developing unified connectivity with remote monitoring platforms across all four manufacturers, bringing remote monitoring data into the same longitudinal patient record alongside implant and in-clinic follow-up data. This will enable cardiac teams to manage their entire device population, both in-clinic and remote, through a single platform.
HRI ProLink
ProLink is HRI's dedicated on-site edge device, deployed within the hospital's clinical environment. It wirelessly captures programmer reports at the point of care and securely transfers them to the HRI cloud platform in real time, eliminating the need for USB drives, manual uploads, or paper printouts.
ProLink operates independently of the hospital's general IT infrastructure, providing a dedicated, always-on connection between the cardiac device programmers and the HRI platform. Designed for clinical environments with strict security requirements, it runs a hardened Linux operating system with enterprise-grade endpoint protection.

Eighteen Years of Continuous Cardiac Device Data
The HRI registry is not a snapshot. It is a living, continuously updated record that has been accumulating since 2008. Every implant, every follow-up, every device ID, every safety notice response, building into a longitudinal dataset that no point-in-time audit or periodic survey can replicate.
Compounding Clinical Value
Hospitals deploying HRI gain immediate clinical value from their own longitudinal data. Where national or regional registry programmes are in place, hospitals can choose to contribute to a wider longitudinal record, with appropriate patient consent and governance. For health authorities, policymakers, and clinical researchers, this registry model provides the foundation for outcome analysis, device performance monitoring, and health service planning that requires longitudinal depth.

Turning Eighteen Years of Clinical Data into Predictive Intelligence
The depth and continuity of HRI's longitudinal dataset creates something that most AI initiatives in healthcare lack: a foundation of real-world clinical data, collected at the point of care, across a national patient population, over nearly two decades.
Predictive Modelling
HRI is actively developing AI models using its longitudinal dataset to predict device performance outcomes, disease progression patterns, and treatment pathways. This work is being validated through EU Horizon-funded research programmes with independent academic partners.
Real-World Evidence
Unlike datasets assembled for research, HRI's registry was built through routine clinical care. This makes it uniquely representative of real patient populations and real clinical outcomes, providing a stronger foundation for AI models that are intended to support clinical decision-making.
Every Feature Designed Around Patient Protection
The registry is not just a data store. It is a safety system. Every module, every workflow, every alert within HRI exists to protect the patient and support the clinical team in delivering safe, accountable care.
Full Device Traceability
Every device implanted through HRI is uniquely identified and traceable from the point of implant, supporting recall response, safety reporting, and regulatory compliance.
Overdue Follow-Up Alerts
Automated detection of patients who have missed or not been scheduled for follow-up appointments, with configurable alert thresholds aligned to clinical guidelines.
Field Safety Notice Workflow
When a manufacturer issues a Field Safety Notice, HRI identifies affected patients immediately and provides a structured workflow for clinical review, response, and documentation.
Cardiac Device ID
HRI can provide patients with a digital and physical ID card carrying their device information. In an emergency, the card gives any clinician, anywhere in the world, the device information they need.
Governed Data Architecture
All clinical data is held under a formal governance framework, with full audit trail capability and GDPR compliance.
Regulatory Compliance
Built to support compliance with EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745), Australia's TGA regulatory framework, and UK MDR requirements, including UDI capture through GS1 barcode scanning at the point of implant. Designed to satisfy the governance requirements of national health authorities and hospital procurement processes across multiple jurisdictions.
Independently Validated Through EU-Funded Research
HRI's longitudinal dataset and analytical infrastructure are active contributors to EU Horizon-funded research, independently validating the quality and depth of the registry and the AI capability being built on top of it.
CARAMEL
HRI is a partner in CARAMEL, a Horizon Europe research project focused on personalised prevention of cardiovascular disease in women aged 40 to 60. HRI's contribution is a longitudinal cardiac device dataset spanning thousands of patients, enabling predictive modelling for disease progression and treatment outcomes.
