SmartBEAT
Four main modules will be used: a mobile vital signs monitoring component capable of recording all physiological measurements needed to adequately monitor the health status of these patients, to support application frameworks responsible for the communication with the users and their carers and an innovative intelligence component which will process all the acquired and environmental data to produce relevant knowledge offering an overall approach where patients and caregivers can define their interests and receive curated and valuable information from several information sources. The pilots will be performed in 3 sets by each end-user organisation simultaneously, and will focus on the different kinds of end-users: the pilots developed in Portugal and in Belgium will focus on the HF older adults and the formal caregivers (cardiologists and other physicians), while the pilots developed in Norway will assess the impact of the system on the HF older adults and their informal caregivers (family, friends, neighbours, etc).
