The Context
 
 

Heart and circulatory system diseases are the most common cause of death for EU citizens and remains a major cause of death and disability for males and females. Therefore, an important goal in EU is to reduce the potential risk of Cardio Vascular Disease (CDV) among citizens, by means of promoting changes in lifestyle and medical treatment to control risk factors as well as supporting research priorities. These actions will be far more effective as a co-ordinated European effort. There is an apparent necessity of preventive strategies, diagnostic tests, and treatment and rehabilitation policies. This situation has led European Commission to accept FOR ALL proposal, among others
 
 
 
The Project
 
 

FOR ALL project is aimed to perform the market validation at trans-European level of an existing pilot system deployed in Italy called ICAROS (Integrated care vs. Conventional intervention in cArdiac insufficiency patients Randomized Open label Study)

ICAROS monitors and manages (using PDA's and mobile technology) heart chronic disease patients in their daily life, offering cardiologic and psychological assistance with an all-time and all-place on-line mobile service. This pilot system produces real-time reports to support clinical decision-making and aggregates data for use in setting best practice guidelines, managing clinical outcomes and staff training

FOR ALL service will allow thus an integrated management (cardiac and psychological) of cardiologic patients every time and everywhere, making easy and continuous the interaction between patients and hospital personal using wireless and Internet technologies at trans-European level

 
 
 
The Goals
 
 

FOR ALL addresses a service in the area of e-Health and advanced mobile services, and helps to overcome the existing barriers (financial and social) related to launching the service at trans-European level for patients suffering heart diseases and all its psychological consequences. As main goals it can be distinguished:
  • Improvement of clinic condition and quality of life
  • Improvement of therapeutic compliance
  • Monitoring of the patients psychological condition linked to cardiac disease and improvement of the efficacy and efficiency of this therapeutic monitoring
  • Optimization and Individualization of action for acute clinical diseases
  • Improvement of the fastness of action for acute clinical disease
  • Improvement of economic cost management
  • Improvement of the mental acceptance of the pathology
