CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Implicity, a leader in remote patient monitoring and cardiac data management solutions, today announced the latest findings presented at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2026.
The new HRS data extends on research presented earlier this month at the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Congress, which showed why false-positive alerts persist even in modern implantable loop recorders (ILRs). The follow-on HRS study specifically focused on the latest AI-equipped ILRs, examining whether layering Implicity’s new, universal cloud-based AI algorithm on top of proprietary manufacturer algorithms could further reduce false alerts.
In a review of 483 cases from 324 patients using AI-equipped devices, Implicity’s next-generation ILR ECG Analyzer successfully reclassified 61.6% of false-positive alerts in interpretable episodes while maintaining 98.3% sensitivity, helping reduce the workload for clinicians without compromising patient safety.
“Manufacturer filtering has clearly advanced, whether it happens in the device, in the cloud, or through a combination of both. But even in these newer systems, residual false-positive alerts still remain and continue to burden clinical teams. The findings from our HRS study demonstrate that a manufacturer-agnostic analysis layer can substantially reduce that remaining noise while maintaining the high sensitivity needed to protect patient safety,” said Arnaud Rosier, MD, PhD, electrophysiologist, CEO, and co-founder of Implicity.
Implicity’s next-generation ILR ECG Analyzer is designed to act as an agnostic second-layer for residual alerts that remain after the initial manufacturer filters. Operating in the cloud and compatible with all major brands, Implicity’s new universal algorithm applies the most sophisticated neural networks, drastically reducing false positives without compromising patient safety.
This ‘dual AI’ approach does more than just streamline remote cardiac monitoring workflows; it also reduces alert fatigue by providing clinical teams with highly accurate, trustworthy data. With greater confidence in the data, clinicians can spend less time on noise and more time focusing on meaningful cardiac events.
“Newer AI-enabled ILRs do provide a cleaner data stream with fewer obvious artifacts, but they are not perfect, and the false positives that remain are often more subtle and clinically ambiguous,” said Niraj Varma, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine and Consultant Electrophysiologist at the Cleveland Clinic. “Those are exactly the alerts that still require careful adjudication. In a remote monitoring workflow, that matters enormously, and any technology that can safely mitigate ILR-related false-positive alerts is significant.”
These findings follow
examining why false-positive alerts persist across modern ICM devices. In that work, investigators identified guideline-based interpretation gaps and signal-detection issues as key drivers of non-actionable alerts and showed that even in AI-equipped devices, 32.9% of episodes remained non-actionable, with another 30.6% deemed indeterminate. Together, the EHRA and HRS analyses highlight both the mechanisms behind persistent false positives and the potential for a universal, cloud-based AI approach to help address them across all devices—including those with or without proprietary AI.
Implicity’s next-generation ILR ECG Analyzer Algorithm (V2) is not FDA cleared yet.
