Heart failure is the major pandemic of the 21st century. The number of patients and of Heart Failure-related deaths is progressively increasing. This means a devastating economic and health organization burden. In fact, chronic heart failure patients are at high risk of death, and the course of the disease is often insidious and uncertain with a progressive deterioration requiring the need for repeated and successive hospitalizations with an ominous prognosis: with each admission for acute heart failure there is a short-term improvement, a phase characterized by a degree of stability, and then a worsening phase follows until a new need for a new hospitalization. Moreover, with each subsequent hospitalization, myocardial function progressively declines, gradually worsening the patient's quality of life until the fatal event. For these reasons, one of the major unmet needs is the identification of patients with a negative trajectory of Heart Failure. Accordingly, early identification of Heart Failure worsening is mandatory to improve patient condition and reduce Heart Failure costs, which are mainly associated with hospitalizations. Our main goal through this project is to create clinical tool for detection of early signs of chronic heart failure (CHF) worsening that will allow timely therapeutic intervention. This timely manner intervention can lead to a much better outcome for the patient, possibly reducing the need for hospitalization or lower the number of hospitalization days. The aim of this project is to develop clinical decision tool based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to early detect the signs of exacerbation of chronic heart failure and predict the risk of its progression, by integrating high quality medical data obtained through a wearable device (L.I.F.E. Italia Srl's "wearable clinic" - a vest with accessories, which is a TRL 9 medical grade sensorized garment, already available on the market). Specifically, the focus will be on the early detection of CHF worsening in patients who have already been diagnosed with CHF.
"La Casa nel Parco" (CANP) Project is a multidisciplinary project funded by the European Union and Regione Piemonte aimed to explore innovative technology application in the care of older subjects. In this context, MONTEROSA is a monocentric randomized controlled open-label clinical trial evaluating the use of a telemonitoring/telemedicine (TM) suite (including a sphygmomanometer, pulse oximeter, weight scale, thermometer, glucometer, electrocardiograph) as a support to the routine clinical care of patients admitted to a Hospital at Home service for acute decompensated heart failure. The main objective of the study will be to evaluate the impact of TM on number of daily physician's visits. Secondary objectives will be to evaluate the impact of TM on number of daily nurse visits, on overall in-hospital mortality and on patient's and caregiver's quality of life.
The purpose of this project is to improve mobility in the perioperative period using activity trackers to augment current practice. Delirium and poor functional status following ICU stays are intractable problems for which clear solutions do not exist. Digital health approaches have not been applied to these problems in the ICU setting and may represent a viable and unexplored intervention. The program will involve the utilization of an activity tracker in ambulating patients. There will be two arms to the program. The first will involve the longitudinal study of ambulating lung transplant patients. Patients will be given an activity tracker at time of transplant which will continue throughout their care into their first month at home. The data will be collected to identify correlation between activity and clinical outcomes.
The study is intended to verify the safety and assess the performance of up to 3-days treatment protocol with the RenaSense System in ADHF patients.
