HSmartBPM: an intelligent digital clinical pathway towards the proactive management and smart monitoring of hypertension

Keywords: Communication, Digital Application, Hypertension, mHealth, Telemonitoring
Owner
Consortium of developers led by Gnomon Informatics SA (Greece)
Type
Digital solution and service (e.g. application/digital health portal/platform/AI based system/etc.)
Short description
ICT for empowerment and self-management for patients with hypertension. The HSmartBPM platform provides a mobile app for the patient, and a web app for the Health Care Professionals. This solution provides tools for the self-management of the patient (educational material, virtual assistant, reminders, self-adherence, measurements statistics, seamless connection with IoT devices and automated update on measurements, teleconsultation, community forum etc). Currently during piloting (3rd phase)
Evidence
Impact on the health system’s capacity and resilience (e.g., health and care efficiency, continuity of care), Contribution to citizen empowerment
Maturity
There is evidence for economic viability and/or of benefits to the target group of the practice. Further research/development is needed for routine use.
HSmartBPM pilots are underway for testing the solutions with real patients.
Countries
Croatia
Italy
Sweden
Türkiye
In Italy there are 2 separate pilots: Lombardy and Naples regions.
Geographical scope
Regional
HSmartBPM is built on eHealthPass by Gnomon. Its main characteristic is interoperability, supporting all cross-border scenarios. The solution is scalable and extendable. It can be re-used in the future and customized according to each country characteristics and needs, but also dedicated to other chronic diseases or situations, such as diabetes.
