About

Information and communications technologies (ICT) currently constitute a key element in the innovation and improvement of providing health-care to frail populations with advanced chronic diseases, but it´s efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness has not yet been proven conclusively. The investigators are going to carry out a multi-center, randomized, parallel groups, phase III clinical trial in adult patient with heart and/or lung advanced diseases,aiming to analyze the efficacy and cost-efficacy of tele-monitorization of bio-parameters added to optimal standard of clinical care (shared clinical care plan) compared to the shared clinical care plan exclusively.

Full description

a total number of 510 patients will be divided in 3 centers: Hospital University Virgen del Rocío; Hospital University Virgen Macarena and Public Hospital Comarcal of Serranía de Ronda. Patient will be randomized in Tele-monitoring Constant (TELEPAC) To analyze the efficacy and cost-efficacy of incorporating tele-monitoring of bio-parameters into the shared comprehensive clinical care plan or in Standard Clinical Care (PAC) based on a comprehensive clinical assistance shared between Primary Care and Hospital Care.
