“Medical Assistance in Contextual awareness” (AMICO): a project for a better cardiopathic patients quality of care

The "Medical Assistance in Contextual awareness" (AMICO) project is the result of synergistic collaboration between international industrial partner, operating in the electronics and biomedical fields and Italian academic institutions. The AMICO project aims to create an e-Medicine precision platform, in the Internet of Things field, which ensures to the patient, especially those affected by cardiovascular diseases, the integration of the hospital rehabilitation model with his or her daily life in the domestic environment. The real-time acquisition of clinical data, supplemented by a mood recognition, will allow doctors to follow patients, verify pharmacological compliance and recognize a worsening in the clinical outcomes. On the other hands, a friendly-use e-Medicine platform will help and motivate patients in their rehabilitation path. This project is an absolute novelty in the national and international field as it will permit a strong interaction between specialist structures and Doctors, even in emergency and/or urgency conditions, from the patient domicile.
