Abstract :
INTERLIFE is a revolutionary product that can radically change the way healthcare services are offered by introducing new means for quality health care management by the healthcare providers, and by improving the patients´, health providers´ and citizens´ quality of life. INTERLIFE is a technological and medical knowledge management and processing infrastructure able to support an early discharge and a continuous home monitoring service thus leading to reduction hospitalisation rates and to the increased efficacy of healthcare service delivery of patients suffering from chronic diseases such as CHF, COPD and Diabetes as well as a special category of acute health care related patients. Six test sites are participating in the validation trials, more specifically EAP Sardenya and MUTUAM in Spain, Hippokrateion Hospital and AHEPA Hospital in Greece, RAMIT in Belgium and University of Regensburg Medical Centre in Germany
