简要总结
The goal of this study is to create a digital platform for managing patients with chronic heart failure, those with long-term ventricular assistance, or heart transplant recipients. This platform aims to help doctors make clinical decisions and change treatments based on continuous monitoring and the collection of medical, clinical, physiological, behavioral, psychosocial, and real-world data from these patients.
The ultimate goal is to reduce mortality and hospitalization rates for this group of patients while improving their quality of life, safety, and well-being.
To do this, participants will be divided into two groups:
- Intervention Group: The data collected by the platform will be available to their treating doctors.
- Control Group: Doctors will not have access to the data.
All participating patients will receive a set of devices and sensors to collect data such as vital signs, physical activity, sleep quality, psychological and nutritional status, and environmental data. All this information will be gathered through a mobile app designed for the study.
The follow-up will last for 18 months, during which there will be 4 in-person medical visits (spaced 4 months apart). Participation in the study won't affect patients' scheduled medical visits related to their illness or their usual treatment.
详细描述
Specifically, the devices that will be given to the patients and their required use will be as follows:
A Smartphone: This will have the app with the platform designed for the study. The patient must interact with it daily to enter data.
A Blood Pressure Monitor: The patient will need to take their blood pressure every day and send it via Bluetooth to the mobile platform (the connection setup will be done by the study team before giving it to the patients).
An Oxygen Saturation Monitor: The patient will need to check their oxygen levels daily and send the data via Bluetooth to the mobile platform (the connection setup will be done by the study team before giving it to the patients).
A Scale: The patient will need to weigh themselves daily and transmit the data via Bluetooth to the mobile platform (the connection setup will be done by the study team before giving it to the patients).

入选标准
- •Age of 18-75 years.
- •Ability to understand and provide consent in order to participate in the study.
- •Have a cognitive assessment score of > 22 as assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), ( adults without or with mild cognitive impairment at most).
- •Have a depression score as assessed by Personal Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score <
- •Provide written informed consent.

- •for heart transplant recipients: have been discharged following heart transplantation within at least 30 days and no longer than 36 months before study randomization.
排除标准
- •Is clinically unstable at the time of randomization as defined by: administration of intravenous diuretics during the last 12 hours or intravenous vasodilators or inotropes during the last 48 hours before randomization.
- •Has acute coronary syndrome within the last 30 days before randomization.
- •Has acute inflammatory heart disease, (for instance, acute myocarditis), within 90 days prior to randomization.
- •Has a planned revascularisation, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation or any valvular procedures within 3 months after randomization
- •Has known current alcohol or illicit drug abuse.
- •Shows significant impairment or unwillingness to use the telemonitoring equipment (for instance, dementia, impaired self-determination, lacking ability to communicate).
- •Has any severe non-cardiovascular disease limiting life expectancy to less than 1 year.
- •Is pregnant.
- •Participates currently in other telemonitoring programs/studies using smart devices
研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention group
The RETENTION platform will offer to the clinician in the experimental arm all the data gathered by the devices (smart watch, scale, oximeter, blood pressure monitor, temperature, medication adherence, weather and pollution indexes). along with artificial intelligence recommendations.
干预措施: Heart monitoring tools (data revision) (Device)
Control group
Patients in the control group will be monitored but the data will not be available to the clinicians nor the artificial intelligence recommendations.
干预措施: Control (Standard treatment) (Other)
