The SMART CARE project aims to establish a national network for managing patients with chronic heart failure, through the design, development, technological and clinical validation, and integration with the national healthcare system, of an Integrated Monitoring System based on:
a) Advanced solutions for monitoring and evaluating patients with heart failure at home using smart, mini-invasive, wearable sensory devices
b) A Multimarkers Score to support decision making, based on data collected from the involved technological devices
c) A Telemedicine services platform for the Italian network of heart failure.
The goal of this monitoring system is to make the various stages of managing patients with chronic heart failure (prevention, diagnosis, therapy, follow-up) more efficient and the action of the national healthcare system more effective through a multi-dimensional intervention perspective, reducing the need for unnecessary tests, visits and hospitalizations, improving early recognition of the condition, adherence to treatment guidelines, and integrated follow-up between specialty centers and general practitioners.
