Sensium collaboration publishes milestone whitepaper

In #COVID19 times more than ever, being safely hospitalised at home becomes much more attractive for the quality of life of #HeartFailure patients. Reducing hospitalisation costs and increasing the availability of beds also remain important issues for hospitals.

This is precisely where NWE-Chance’s work of the past two years comes into play. The project is studying the feasibility of a medical platform and #eCoach device that will enable nurses to care for and monitor their patients’ health at a distance in a more simple and efficient way

The project has made significant progress so far in three ways, which can be read in this whitepaper:

• The readiness of the technology for field testing
• Nurses training
• Patients recruitment.

In the following months, a total of 100 patients will be included in the NWE-Chance feasibility study on three partnering pilot sites: @Isala (ziekenhuis) and @MUMC+|Herstelzorg in the Netherlands, and @jessa-ziekenhuis in Flanders (Belgium)

Home hospitalisation is still in its infancy and the innovation potential is high. Opportunities are enormous. Therefore, NWE-Chance aims to create a Digital Innovation Hub, that brings together the learnings and key assets of the project, as the “go-to place” for hospitalisation@home.
