Abstract :
HeartCycle is a large European Integrated Project (IP) and develops technologies and services for Telehealth, which is to remotely monitor and manage patients at home and motivate them to be compliant to treatment regimens and to a beneficial lifestyle. Telehealth allows healthcare professionals to better control the progress of the therapy, detect upcoming adverse events early and react in time with personalized care plan adjustments, leading to prevent relapses, stabilizing the patient and avoid costly hospitalizations.
