Evaluation of the Performance of an e-Health System Comprising Tele-monitoring / Tele-notification and Tele-coaching in Ambulatory Multi-morbid Adult Patients

Prospective, non-randomized, open-label, pilot study conducted in a single group of 30 evaluable patients, i.e. patients completing an approximate 3 month follow-up.

Detailed Description

The eHealth system developed in the present study is dedicated to multimorbid patients' follow-up. The medical device consists in Telemonitoring, Telenotification and Telecoaching. It aims to both increase patient autonomy, with regard to management of his/her pathologies, and facilitate coordination between health professionals.

By providing patients with tools enabling early detection of clinical worsening combined with an appropriate management, the medium and long-term objectives are to reduce hospitalizations and improve health status and quality of life of these patients at home.

In the first instance, the only objective of the present study is to evaluate the performance and feasibility of implementation of the device. This evaluation is based on a comparison between the telenotifications generated by the software and those calculated from the raw data captured by the software.
