| Abstract | HeartCycle is an integrated project aiming to provide a disease management solution for cardiovascular disease patients. The project develops technologies and services to facilitate the remote management of patients at home and motivate them to be compliant to treatment regimes and to adopt a beneficial lifestyle. HeartCycle aims to develop a personalised care system, integrating care at home with professional care in the hospital embedding health delivery feedback loops both at the professional and patient levels. In this paper an overview of the technological challenges that are under research and development in the HeartCycle project shall be presented and their possible implications on the personalized health concept shall be addressed. |
