The current WP will develop personalized e-health-based care plans for patients with heart and respiratory failure enrolled at hospital discharge following acute decompensation. In this task e-health researchers and the medical team will select multiparametric sensors for physiological variables recordings during daytime and nighttime to be coupled with the e-health platform. Medically certified device selection will be performed based on a systematic review of the scientific literature and personalized care-plans for patients with heart and respiratory failure. Moreover, application for self-administered tests and functional assessment and point of care tools will selected and integrated in the e-health platform.
Brief description of the activities and of the intermediate results
The process of monitoring devices production is at its final stage.
Main policy, industrial and scientific implications
A tight collaboration between the research multidisciplinary team and devices manufactures is ongoing to set-up monitoring devices operational characteristics.
Set-up of experimental monitoring devices to be used in the observational study is ongoing with a 3-4 months of delay. This is mostly due to shortening of electronic supplies needed for devices assembly.
The e-health based patients and caregiver management platform has almost been completed and coupled with the available wearable oxygen saturation, ECG and temperature monitoring devices. Although not completed, the platform's core functions have been showed in the meeting held in Termoli (CB) on the 12 of september.
STATUS - 31/12/2024
Technical tuning of multiparametric monitoring devices. In particular, Electrocardiographic and thoracic impedance traces are currently being tested in comparison to gold standard devices. Devices-platform coupling is being updated accordingly.
STATUS - 31/03/2025
Live on-patient tuning of multiparametric devices and platform-device coupling. Given the availability of device’s technical and safety data, experimental protocol has been submitted to the institutional ethical committee. Operational tuning of multidimensional frailty assessment app.
STATUS – 30.06.2025
Final live testing of devices performance and device-platform coupling and performance. Live operational tuning of multidimensional frailty assessment app. Experimental protocol approval from the institutional ethical committee without amendments and recommendations. Patients selection and enrollment according to ethical committee approved protocol.
STATUS - 30/09/2025
Experimental study ongoing.
