Health in Smart Rurality: Impact on Coordination of Care of Telemonitoring and Data Centralization of Frailty Patients

• Conditions: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; Heart Failure
• Interventions: Other: Data collection

• Registration Number: NCT04866550
• Lead Sponsor: Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne

Brief Summary

Chronic diseases are frequent (around 10% of the total population and 30% after 60 years) and accelerate age-related functional decline. Concerning cross-border patients, use of health services can be delayed given the distances, the lack of rapid road access and the limited availability of public transport and the complex organization of coordinated care.

One of the ways to reduce acute exacerbations and preserve the quality of life of patients is to detect warning signs early. One of the ways to do this is to use new communication technologies.

Detailed Description

The aim of the study is to assess feasibility of using a connected tablet to assess clinical parameters with an alert system in frailty patients aged over 60, living at home, with heart failure and / or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, potentially requiring care cross-border (France and Belgium).
