This telemedicine project leverages innovative smart technology to improve cardiovascular health management in primary care. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a significant burden on the healthcare system, and proactive, personalized care is essential to reduce this impact. This telemedicine project explores whether a home monitoring system equipped with tools like a blood pressure monitor, weighing scale, and activity tracker, can enhance self-management and health outcomes for patients at high risk of CVD.
The study is designed as a non-inferiority trial, comparing standard care with the use of this telemedicine innovation. Participating patients use the technology for health monitoring and share data with their general practitioner through a secure app. This proactive approach aims to improve health awareness and encourage lifestyle changes to mitigate cardiovascular risks.
By integrating advanced eHealth solutions into primary care, this initiative seeks to empower patients, enhance care efficiency, and reduce the overall burden of CVD. Results from the study will inform scalable models for integrating smart health technologies into routine care, benefiting patients, healthcare professionals, and policymakers alike
