SmartCare

Integrated ICT-based care packages

SmartCare aims to roll out on large scale integrated ICT-based care packages to support independent living of elderly. Via service platforms medical and social care is connected. The intention is to offer people with one or more chronical disease better care and services through combining data from medical and social care. Employees from the home care and informal caregivers should have acces to data, not only the medical specialists and general practitioners. Furthermore, the citizen is able to easily use via an ICT-platform services at home from medical and societal nature. The European Commission want to reach via SmartCare in a large number of countries thousands of people better and more efficiently, to enable them to self regulate more things via self care and thus, restrain healthcare costs.

The Dutch pilot version in Eindhoves focusses on heart-revalidation at a distance. The movement pattern of patients is monitored an analysed through a heartbeat- and activity measurer. It is important for multi-disciplinairy care after a hospital stay that all care providers communicate and work together well, coordinated by a case manager. They use the ICT platform to work together with other sectors and to share data of their individual systems. This date consits, next to diagnosis, symptoms, measurements and laboratium results also goals, questionnaires, reports and self-management indicators. The healthcare providers also have insight in the information delivered by informal caregivers, home nurses, welfare workers and the patients themselvers.
