Universal telemedicine system for outpatient cardiovascular disease management

Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are the most common cause of death and represent a serious health problem for society. The most important CV diagnoses responsible for the largest number of hospitalisations and cardiological dispensations include arterial hypertension (AH) and heart failure (SZ). Thanks to the mass availability of intelligent devices capable of recording biological functions, these diseases can be easily and efficiently monitored, reacting to them in a timely manner, preventing exacerbations, hospitalisations or shortening the period of hospitalisation. However, the problem is the absence of a medical platform through which these data could be interpreted by professionals. This results in the analysis of data by laymen, leading to frequent misinterpretations, unjustified medical visits and increased anxiety. Our aim is to fill this gap between commonly available intelligent devices monitoring patients’ biological functions and physicians able to interpret this information. We plan to bring a simple mobile application for patients and an information system for doctors meeting the state-of-the-art requirements of the modern telemedicine platform, including analysis of medical data through artificial intelligence algorithms able to alert the doctor about the impending deterioration of the patient’s health. Patients with AH and SZ aged 55-74 will receive free digital biosensors (smart pressure gauge, weight and bracelet) for continuous monitoring and interpretation of trends in arterial pressure, body weight, heart rate and physical activity by physicians. This will allow telemedicine management of these patients, with subsequent achievement of the main objectives of the project výzvy:zotrvania in the natural home environment of an earlier return to the home environment after hospitalisationremoval of unproductive or ancillary treatments (e.g. patient transport to the doctor) in the provision of healthcare
