In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a protocol was designed for mail-out devices and educational materials created to teach patients how to install a device for 2 weeks of continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring. We compared data collection from two sequential patient populations; one who received standard device application in the same clinic in the months before the pandemic response, and another, who received their device by mail for self-installation. Patients received a single phone call when the device was mailed and were able to contact the manufacturer as needed for support. A total of 47 devices were assessed from each group. Each group was similar in age (70 vs 65 years), and clinical indication for monitoring. Noise signal magnitude (22.34 vs 26.28%), symptom based manual activation (10 vs 8 events) and APB/recorded hour burden measurements (37.05 vs 23.36%) were similar in both groups (all comparisons were statistically non-significant). Both groups had a similar mean of hours recorded (240.37 vs. 245.05 h). Zero patient kits were lost, and all reports were delivered. Overall, it was found that a mail-delivered home-based recording platform can be reliably used to acquire clinical data with similar data quality and patient compliance as a conventional in-clinic model for long term ambulatory ECG monitoring.
