Hospital@Home: Person-centered Digital Transformation for Integrated Home Care

Project description

Bringing the hospital home

Hospitals are under growing strain. With an ageing population and a rise in chronic illness, the demand for hospital beds often outstrips what wards can handle. However, many people who require specialist care and constant monitoring do not actually need to be in a hospital building to receive it. The EU-funded The Hospital@Home project aims to solve this problem by bringing healthcare directly into the living room. It uses wearable sensors to track vital signs of patients with heart and lung disease, or those suffering from severe headaches and minor strokes. This allows doctors to make medical decisions based on live data while patients recover in their own homes.

Objective

The Hospital@Home (H@H) project unites leading academic hospitals and industry in Europe to provide hospital-level care to patients right to their own homes. Designed around five major clinical areas – cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, minor stroke/TIA, migraine, and cluster headache – the H@H project is designed to improve clinical and patient-reported outcomes, enhance patient experience and reduce hospital burden to enable sustainable health systems across Europe. H@H’s powerful, interdisciplinary consortium consists of five leading European university hospitals, MedTech and Pharma partners, patient organizations, and health economics experts. Supported by a robust digital infrastructure, the project integrates wearable monitoring, AI-driven predictive analytics, patient-reported outcomes (PROMs/PREMs) and digital decision support into real-world care pathways. Patient and healthcare professional engagement, ethics, equity and system-level sustainability are structurally woven into every phase of the project’s three-phased methodology of Mapping, Testing, and Implementing. H@H directly addresses the goals of IHI Call 9 Topic 3 by overcoming real-world barriers to digital care integration while firmly placing people’s needs and preferences at the center of the care transformation. The trustworthy AI-supported H@H system will generate new evidence on patient-centered models by integrating PROMs, PREMs, and real-world data. H@H delivers scalable digital platforms and AI tools to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enable sustainable business models. H@H will deliver actionable blueprints for Europe’s healthcare future - boosting patient outcomes while easing system burdens through high-quality, accessible home care.
