Protecting the environment

When we challenge our impact on the environment,

We advance ways to protect it

HeartLogic™ Heart Failure Diagnostic

Boston Scientific's HeartLogic is an innovative solution for personalized and remote heart failure diagnostic and monitoring.

2% of healthcare spend

2% of healthcare spend

Heart Failure represents

A significant clinical, economic, and environmental burden. The disease accounts for 2% of healthcare spend, 60-70% of which is related to hospitalisations.1,2

Predictive algorithm

Digital Diagnostic

HeartLogic is a digital diagnostic technology, which can be used alongside remote monitoring, in the management of heart failure patients implanted with a CRT-D or ICD device. The technology employs a predictive algorithm, to provide advanced notice of worsening heart failure.

74% reduction in hospitalizations

Reduce hospitalizations

HeartLogic is proven to reduce hospitalizations for decompensated heart failure by 74% and hospitalization length of stay by 56%.6 This could significantly reduce resource utilization, waste per patient and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the healthcare system.3,4

* Estimates based on rate and mean length of stay for heart failure admissions reported in Treskes et al. (2021) and data from sustainable care pathways guidance: Inpatient bed day.7 Estimates exclude impact of non-inpatient care prior to admission (e.g., primary care support or acute medical unit management), possible surgical treatment or visitors during hospital stay.

Waste Reduction

Hospital

A hospital can produce more than 480 tonnes of waste each year.5

Hospital Bed

3 to 13 kg of total waste is generated per patient per bed day depending on level of acuity.4

An estimated 20-25% is plastic waste.5

An estimated 20-25% is plastic waste.5

People

If 1,000 heart failure patients...

HeartLogic™ heart failure diagnostics.

...were monitored using HeartLogic™ heart failure diagnostics...

Truck

…there could be a reduction of up to 71 tonnes of waste which equates to an 88% decrease in waste per 1,000 patients per year.6

What’s Next?

Boston Scientific joined the United Nations Race to Zero and Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign and is committed to set a science-based target through the Science Based Targets initiative that will put us on a path to achieve net-zero emissions across our entire value chain by 2050.
