The prototype of ‘Smart Cardia’ has been completed, an intelligent platform that facilitates the management of cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack
CiTIUS (Singular Research Centre in Intelligent Technologies of the University of Santiago de Compostela) is involved in the development of the different modules that make up the new platform, which has been validated by the Cardiac Rehabilitation team at the University Hospital Complex of Santiago (CHUS) and is the result of a consortium led by the company Balidea
Controlled, safe and high-quality cardiac rehabilitation
The aim of the Smart Cardia project was to develop a platform that would make it easier for healthcare professionals to manage the cardiac rehabilitation process, integrating intelligent and predictive components and graphical interfaces with a higher degree of usability. In this way, it becomes an ideal tool for the implementation of cardiac rehabilitation programmes, allowing healthcare professionals, from day one, to work within a safe and predictable, non-variable and controlled process, while also providing quality indicators.
It is designed to support the healthcare professionals involved in this type of process, such as cardiologists, specialised nursing staff, physiotherapists, rehabilitation physicians, endocrinologists, primary care physicians and community nurses.
The project has a healthcare objective (through risk factor control and prevention) and a social objective, by interacting with Prebencar, an intelligent virtual advisor for cardiovascular prevention and wellbeing that promotes heart-healthy habits, and turns patients who have suffered a heart attack into active agents in their own recovery.
