Abstract
Nowadays, chronic heart failure affects an ever-growing segment of population, and it is among the major causes of hospitalizat ion for elder citizens. Based on periodic visits, The actual out-of- hospital treatment model, has a low capability to detect signs of destabilization and leads to a high rehospitalization rate. In this paper, a complete and integrated Information and Communication Technology system is described enabling the CHF patients to daily collect vital signs at home and automatically send them to the Hospital Information System, allowing In case of necessity the physicians to monitor their patients at distance and take timely actions. All signals are processed upon acquisition in order to assert if both accurate values and extracted trends lay in a safety zone established by thresholds. Per- patient personalized thresholds, required measurements and transmission policy are allowed.
