Therapeutic Education by Telemedicine in Chronic Heart Failure (SEDIC)

February 19, 2013 updated by: University Hospital, Caen

Impact of Clinical Follow-up and Therapeutic Education by Telemedicine in Chronic Heart Failure: a Randomized Multicenter Study.

The purpose of the SEDIC study is to test a home based heart failure patient clinical follow-up and therapeutic education using telemedicine. This educational follow-up is based on an interactive information system (SCAD) including a touch screen personal computer for heart failure patient at home. An interactive algorithm has been developed to allow a self management teaching to the patient.Furthermore, a specialized nurse provide a clinical data follow-up.
