Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation
Webinar November 17: Telerehabilitation in Times of COVID-19
Future Patient-Telerehabilitation of Patients with Heart Failure by Birthe Dinesen, Professor, PhD & Head of Laboratory for Welfare Technologies - Telehealth & Telerehabilitation, Sport Sciences -Performance and Technology, Department of Health Science and Technology, Aalborg University, Denmark Email: bid(at)hst.aau.dk Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation
Aims of presentation
• To present the Future Patient Telerehabilitation Program for Patients with Heart Failure in the light of the COVID-19 Pandemic
2 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation
Target Group
• Heart failure patients (HF) (NYHA class II-IV
3 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation
Heart Failure in numbers
Number of HF patients in Denmark (Danish Heart 55000 Association 2016) 26 Number of HF patients international (Ambrosy 2014) million
Readmission is above ≥50% within 6 months after ≥50% discharge (Krumholz 2009; Joynt 2011; Chun S 2012)
4 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation
Living with Heart Failure
• Living with heart failure – Fluid build up – Fatique and sleep – Inactivity – depression – Sex life – Relatives
• Treatment today – Physical – Medication – Lifestyle changes
5 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation
Userdriven innovation
The program was developed through workshops with patients, relatives, healthcare professionals, representatives from the healthcare industry and scientists in 2015 and 2016.
6 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation
Status
• Future Patient I – RCT study (n=140 patients) 2016-2019
• Future Patient II – RCT study (n=70 patients) 2020-2021
Today I will present the preliminary results from Future Patient I
7 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation
Aims of FP I
• To increase of quality of life for HF patients • To investigate if data from wearables can help HF patients to predict development in symptoms and avoid rehospitalizations • To design more individual tailored rehabilitation for HF patients • To explore pro and cons on telerehabilitation for cardiac patients
8 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation Research focus
Primary Measures • Increased Quality of Life
Secondary endpoint • Reduced number of readmissions by end of rehabilitation(at 6 months) • Development of clinical data( blood pressure, pulse, weight, sleep, steps ) at 6, 12 months • Positive changes in disease recognition • Changes from intrinsic to extrinsic motivation • Health competences and e-Health competences • Measure of anxiety and depression • Patients and relatives experience by using Hjerteportalen.dk • Evaluation of health economy

15 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation Qualitative statements
• ”By seeing the data from my stepcounter and sleepsensor I get a better understanding of my own symptoms and life…gives me better understanding of my diasease…”
• ”The virsualization of the data gives me a better overview of my data and developemnet of symptoms and wellbeeing…”
• ”Telerehabiltation is a good choice to participating in rehabilitation activities…..I can do it my way…”.
16 Future Patient Telehealth and Telerehabilitation Telerehabilitation -in the light of the COVID-19 Pandemic • Is a good way to reach out to cardiac patients • It engages patients and gives them a reponsibility for beeing their own coach in their own rehabiliation proces and getting back to everyday life and work • Contact with the healthcare system is impeortant in relation to keep beeing beeing motivated in the rehabilitation proces
