Project abstract
Europe’s health system is undergoing radical changes due to an aging population. It‘s moving from reactive towards preventative care, and from hospital care to care at home. Tomorrow’s patients will become more empowered to take their health into their own hands.
New ICT is required to enable this paradigm shift. HeartCycle will provide a closed-loop disease management solution being able to serve both Heart Failure (HF) patients and Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) patients, including possible co-morbidities hypertension, diabetes and arrhythmias.
This will be achieved by multi-parametric monitoring and analysis of vital signs and other measurements. HeartCycle aims to improve the quality of life for patients with coronary heart disease or heart failure by monitoring their condition and involving them in the daily management of their disease as well as by developing mechanisms to automatically report relevant monitoring data back to clinicians so that they can prescribe personalized therapies and lifestyle recommendations.
