Objective
Cardiovascular diseases (CvD) cause the death of around 4.500.000 people per year in Europe, being the first cause of deaths in Europe. The challenge of the HEARTRONIC project is to provide a real;, solution for continuous monitoring and real time prevention, by means of early warning, to people already diagnosed as subject at high risk. A solution to allow patients to go on with a normallife, meantime increasing their expectation of life and improving quality. The intention of the Heartronic project is not to re-design the cardiology science, but rather to analyse all medical and patients' requirements, to exploit the various existing and promising technologies relevant to this area, and integrate them with innovative and not invasive technologies for a reliable and safety tool that really responds to the demand of doctors and patients, increasing the expectation of life and significantly improving the quality of life, specially concerning the weakest categories of population like: children, patients waiting for heart transplant, infarctuated patients suffering from chronic depression, elders, disables.
Furthermore The Heartronic system will be able to record any hearth anomaly in real time, early warn the doctor in charge and allow the patient's localisation by the GSM system; the doctor in charge, received all data either on his PC or mobile phone, will be able to carry out a timely diagnosis, deciding as well the most appropriate intervention to the patient, maybe unaware of his conditions. If the doctor will not be reachable, all data will be sent to a Host server that will manage the emergency in the way explained above. From a technical point of view, the relevance of transnational co-operation is due to the high degree of multidisciplinary character of the intended project, that aims to integrate biomedical knowledge, research on new materials, TLC and electronics.
