About Merlin.Net Patient Care Network (PCN)
Implantable cardiac devices are designed to capture and record information about device performance and patient heart rhythms that is vital to patient care. Merlin.net PCN organizes this information for fast analysis and easy review and allows data to be sent directly to a clinic's or a hospital's (EHR) system so the data is included in the patient's comprehensive personal health record.
