Abstract
Current treatment of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) - the
most frequent cause of hospitalization for people over 65
- involves changes of diet and lifestyle, requiring in
addition physical exercise to support these. Nowadays,
patients receive sporadic feedback at doctor visits, or
later on, when facing symptoms. The HeartCycle project
aimed at providing 1) daily monitoring, 2) close follow
up, 3) help on treatment routine and 4) decreasing
non-compliance to treatment regimes. The present paper
illustrates a new toolbox of advanced sensors developed
within the HeartCycle project. Ongoing clinical studies
support these developments.
