Descripción del proyecto
Una plataforma innovadora para un seguimiento preciso, efectivo y aprovechable de los pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca
La insuficiencia cardíaca es una de las enfermedades crónicas que la medicina lucha por evitar, diagnosticar y tratar de manera eficaz. Con todo, sigue siendo la principal causa de discapacidad y muerte prematura a nivel mundial. Una reducción significativa de las hospitalizaciones es un paso fundamental para el mantenimiento de la calidad de vida de los pacientes, así como para su gran impacto en la eficacia de todo el sistema sanitario. El proyecto RETENTION, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende desarrollar una plataforma innovadora que respalde la toma de decisiones clínicas y las intervenciones personalizadas basadas en evidencias para los pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca. Mediante una recopilación y un análisis automatizados de datos de pacientes, la solución innovadora se centrará en reducir la mortalidad de los pacientes y mejorar su calidad de vida.
Objetivo
Heart failure (HF) is a prominent chronic disease, despite efforts in improving its prevention, diagnosis and treatment, represents the leading cause of disability and premature death throughout the world, while being is a heavy burden on health systems due to the multiple, prolonged hospitalizations required for patients suffering from it and the related management costs. Nevertheless, studies have shown that routine patient-physician or patient-nurse communication following discharge can result in significant reduction of hospitalizations. The pertinent collected patient data may include simple yet important information (e.g. patient weight), as well as previously difficult to obtain information such as routine ECG, ICD/CRT-D interrogation and pulmonary arterial pressure monitoring, which are now within reach due to technological progress. Motivated by the above, RETENTION aims to develop and deliver an innovative platform supporting enhanced clinical monitoring and interventions aimed at improving the clinical management of patients with chronic HF, reducing their mortality and hospitalisation rates, and improving their quality of life, safety, and well-being. The RETENTION platform will support clinical decision making and evidenced based personalised interventions for HF patients by: (a) continually monitoring and collecting medical, clinical, physiological, behavioural, psychosocial, and real-world data for such patients, (b) analysing these data using innovative model-driven big data analytics, statistical, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, (c) detecting patterns in the HF disease progression and the quality of life of patients, (d) cross checking and validating them against the clinical literature, and (e) offering transparent, explainable and verifiable decision making capabilities that leverage the evidence produced by the underlying data analysis and augment clinical studies targeting HF and other CVDs.
