Digital health is transforming healthcare delivery. To compare the current digital health landscape in select groups of cardiac electrophysiology (EP) professionals prior to and during the COVID-19 era. Two online surveys were emailed to 4 Heart Rhythm Society communities and tweeted out to Twitter EP, 1 before and 1 during the pandemic. Categorical variables were analyzed using the χ2 test and reported as absolute numbers and percentages. There were 253 pre-pandemic (S1) and 273 follow-up surveys (S2) completed. The majority of respondents to both surveys were male, aged <55 years (70.6% vs 75.1%), university-affiliated (52.6% vs 55%), and physicians (83.3% vs 87.9%). Between S1 and S2, routine use of video-telehealth increased (5.9% vs 58.6%; P < .001) for all types of consultations (P < .001 for all). Wireless electrocardiogram prescribing was prevalent and similar (80.2% vs 81.0%), whereas wireless blood pressure monitoring (9.9% vs 18.3%) and wireless oximetry (1.6% vs 8.1%; P = .006 for both) prescribing both increased. For smartphone mobile applications (mApps), prescriptions for heart rate mApps decreased (50.6% vs 40.7%; P = .022), while vital sign (28.9% vs 37%; P = .04) and symptom trackers (15.8% vs 24.9%; P = .01) prescribing increased. A majority in both surveys (84.6% vs 75.5%) reported no workplace infrastructure or support for digital health with concerns for lack of parity in reimbursement. Our results show an increase in adoption of digital health by EP during the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns regarding a lack of supportive infrastructure persisted. Development of professional society guidelines on optimal clinical workflow, infrastructure, and reimbursement may help advance and sustain digital health integration in EP.
