Development and Validation of a Telemonitoring System for High-risk Cardiovascular Patients

Development and validation of a telemonitoring system for high-risk cardiovascular patients.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the beneficial effect of continuous telemonitoring in patients with cardiovascular diseases in different clinical settings (hospitalized patients, ambulant patients, patients during cardiac rehabilitation,...) Beside established risk parameters such as HRV (heart rate variability) and DC (Deceleration Capacity) new risk stratification models should be established from the continuously recorded biosignals.
