iCARE4CVD

?? Do you live with heart disease or are you at risk of developing it? ?Take part in the #iCARE4CVD survey and help advance personalised care in cardiovascular disease! ?? Heart disease affects millions, but treatments don’t work the same for everyone. That’s why #personalisedcare is so important. ?? Digital tools—like health apps and wearables—can be game-changers! They help people track their health, adhere to treatments, and build healthy habits. But to really work, they need to be useful, trustworthy, and easy to use. ?? The INSPIRE-eHealth survey is exploring how to design effective digital health tools that people will actually use in the long term. This survey is part of the iCARE4CVD project and led by our partner organisation Deutsche Stiftung für chronisch Kranke. ?? More info & survey link ?? https://lnkd.in/d_M2QwMk ?? Take the survey online or fill it out in person at St Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin. ? Time: ~20 minutes ?? Study period: February 2025 - April 2025 ?This survey will soon be available in Dutch and German Dr. Bianca Steiner, Dr. Bettina Zippel-Schultz ?

?? Happy #Valentine's Day to all our followers! Meet the IMI and IHI projects working hard to keep your #heart healthy... ???? BigData@Heart used #BigData approaches to deliver a wealth of knowledge and resources to improve our treatment of #HeartDisease ??♀? Diseases like congestive heart failure affect the way we walk. Mobilise-D developed tools and algorithms to use gait analysis to monitor disease progression ?? CARDIATEAM is hunting for clues as to why some people with #diabetes develop #HeartDisease ?? iCARE4CVD is paving the way for a more personalised approach to #CVD care, from diagnosis to the treatment of advanced disease ?? COMBINE-CT is working on a workflow to improve the care of people with coronary heart disease, focusing on optimal use of ?coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) ?? And there are more projects in the pipeline, so watch this space! ?? ?? ?? #IHITransformingHealth #HorizonEU

We’re proud to share a major milestone for #iCARE4CVD—our Patient Advisory Board (PAB) has just held its first meeting! ?? With six members from five countries, the PAB brings together individuals with lived experience of cardiovascular disease or extensive experience in patient advocacy. More than just an advisory group, our PAB will be a key partner in shaping the direction and impact of iCARE4CVD research. In this first session, we: ? Introduced iCARE4CVD and its goals ? Engaged in insightful discussions on the challenges of personalised medicine, treatment adherence, and reaching underrepresented patients ? Agreed on roles, responsibilities, and ways of working moving forward A big thank you to our incredible PAB members for joining us on this journey and contributing to iCARE4CVD and the future of cardiovascular care: Aist? ?tarait?

Congratulations to our teams at Deutsche Stiftung für chronisch Kranke (FCI) and University College Dublin for successfully hosting the first in-person meeting with patients living with cardiovascular disease! ?? Over the next 3.5 years, FCI will coordinate the involvement of 4 Patient Panels from 4 different countries to engage them in a variety of project activities. Co-creating with these Patient Panels will be key to ensuring the project’s outcomes remain patient-centric.?? At yesterday's meeting, our Irish Panel offered invaluable insights through questionnaires, covering topics such as barriers to long-term health app usage, medication adherence, preferences for data entry and sharing, views on wearable health technology, and preferred methods of receiving health information.???? We look forward to the outcomes of this collaboration! #cardiovasculardisease #patientengagement #icare4cvd

Earlier this week, our Industry Lead, Nicholas Ciccone, was invited to participate in the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) workshop on Real-World Data, Digital Health, and Artificial Intelligence at the European Commission in Brussels. At this event, health authorities, industry representatives, and policymakers came together to discuss current collaborations and identify opportunities for future research that can meet Europe’s public health needs through digital innovation. ?? There, we had the opportunity to present iCARE4CVD's mission and progress, showcasing how this collaboration among leading experts from diverse fields and industries is pushing the boundaries of traditional research to transform cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment. ???? Special thanks to IHI and the European Commission for providing this platform to showcase our work, exchange insights and engage with key opinion leaders. We’re excited to see how these discussions will drive further innovation in healthcare! ????? ?

???? Happy #WorldHeartDay! Today, we’re reminded of the importance of #HeartHealth and the critical role global leaders play in protecting communities from #cardiovasculardisease. This year’s theme, “Use Heart for Action,” urges each of us to advocate for cardiovascular health and push for stronger investment in healthcare policies and heart health research! #iCARE4CVD is proud to support this mission and paving the way for better cardiovascular care. ?? By creating one database gathering data from more than 1 million patients and using artificial intelligence to drive research, we are looking for strategies to shift from a one-size-fits-all approach to personalised care in cardiovascular disease!????

?? How can #digitalhealth services improve heart failure care? We’re excited to announce iCARE4CVD’s first paper: "Patient-Reported Experience Measures to Evaluate Digitally Supported Care Processes for Heart Failure: A Scoping Review"! ?? A key focus of the #iCARE4CVD project is understanding how cardiovascular patients experience their care. ?? In a collaboration between Deutsche Stiftung für chronisch Kranke, Uniklinik RWTH Aachen, and Bayer, our team explored how Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) are applied in #healthcare, especially in digital services for managing chronic conditions like #heartfailure. ?? This scoping review highlight how patient feedback can drive more effective, patient-centered digital health solutions, and provides valuable insights into addressing the gaps in the standardisation of #PREMs. Interested in learning more? ???

?? The #iCARE4CVD consortium meeting has officially wrapped up! As we enter our second year, our team gathered in person once again to reflect on the significant progress we've made and to plan the next steps in our mission to improve #cardiovascular disease care. ???? Over the past year, our dedicated team of industry and academia experts from across Europe have worked tirelessly to advance research, foster collaboration, and develop innovative approaches to redefine the limits of #cardiovasculardisease prevention and treatment. ?? It’s truly inspiring to witness the energy and collaboration within our Innovative Health Initiative (IHI)-funded project as our team unites to drive this mission forward! ?? https://lnkd.in/dfqMXA8g
