Chronic heart failure is complex and can be difficult to manage. However, if your condition is treated regularly, it can stabilize over time, perhaps even improve . Yet, as survival rates for heart attacks improve, and as society ages, the number of patients with heart failure is growing.
This means that physicians have to take care of more patients than ever before. Also, at the same time, there are fewer physicians, for example in rural areas. To meet this growing challenge, the European Union is promoting the PASSION-HF-concept. This means “helping heart failure patients with passion”. |
The aim of the PASSION-HF concept is to offer patients a therapy that is personally tailored to their needs, and which they can easily implement themselves. In this way, PASSION-HF follows the principle of moving away from standardized therapy for everyone, and ensuring doctor visits only when it is really necessary.
DoctorME - your personal therapy assistant
|
DoctorME is a digital application (app) that can be used via a mobile phone. DoctorME uses current medical guidelines and learns from medical experience data and behavioral rules. This enables individual adaptation of management to suit you. Your personal therapy guide is available around the clock, seven days a week. Without the direct involvement of medical professionals, DoctorME can give you quick guidance on the ideal dose of your heart failure medications in everyday situations and check if your health is stable. You will be guided, encouraged and supported by DoctorME.
DoctorME will give you quick feedback, for example, to adjust your medication to your current needs. If the situation is too complex, your attending physician will be involved. They will make the final treatment decision. |
Always all data within reach
|
You can use the app to regularly record up-to-date data about your condition, such as blood pressure, your medications, or your daily health status. Through regular use, the system learns and becomes more informed. In addition, you and your relatives also have the opportunity to learn much about the disease. This is made ‘fun’, thanks to the app’s advanced technologies.
Importantly, your data is treated confidentially at all times, as the very highest ethical and European data security standards are followed. |
