Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption and acceptance of remote monitoring and other digital approaches to cardiovascular disease management across the world. We argue that considerable additional effort is required to ensure appropriate multi-stakeholder involvement in the development, evaluation and best use of an ever-increasing number of digital technologies.
