“…To optimize VAD patients' outcome, a close follow‐up has been demonstrated to be of utmost importance to avoid major complications, but the intensity and modality of such a surveillance have not yet been well determined. Several studies have shown the importance of daily monitoring for data recording in the management of patients with advanced heart failure . Furthermore, routine assessment of left VAD controller log files would be useful for the evaluation of pump performance, allowing early detection of technical or clinical problems concerning pump rotational speed, power consumption, and flow pattern .…”

“…The value of day-to-day data recorded in a patient diary is demonstrated in several studies presented in the literature, for both heart failure patients or for patients suffering from other chronic diseases and conditions. Kirchner et al [32] proposed a heart failure patient monitoring system with implantable defibrillators. White et al [33] performed diary data analysis for Heart Failure symptom recognition.…”

SummaryBackground: Heart failure (HF) is affecting millions of people every year and it is characterized by impaired ventricular performance, exercise intolerance and shortened life expectancy. Despite significant advancements in drug therapy, mortality of the disease remains excessively high, as heart transplant remains the gold standard treatment for end-stage HF when no contraindications subsist. Traditionally, implanted Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) have been employed in order to provide circulatory support to patients who cannot survive the waiting time to transplantation, reducing the workload imposed on the heart. In many cases that process could recover its contractility performance.Objectives: The SensorART platform focuses on the management and remote treatment of patients suffering from HF. It provides an inter-operable, extendable and VAD-independent solution, which incorporates various hardware and software components in a holistic approach, in order to improve the quality of the patients’ treatment and the workflow of the specialists. This paper focuses on the description and analysis of Specialist’s Decision Support System (SDSS), an innovative component of the SensorART platform.Methods: The SDSS is a Web-based tool that assists specialists on designing the therapy plan for their patients before and after VAD implantation, analyzing patients’ data, extracting new knowledge, and making informative decisions.Results: SDSS offers support to medical and VAD experts through the different phases of VAD therapy, incorporating several tools covering all related fields; Statistics, Association Rules, Monitoring, Treatment, Weaning, Speed and Suction Detection.Conclusions: SDSS and its modules have been tested in a number of patients and the results are encouraging.
