| HEARTFAID strategic impact mainly regards the improvement of the quality of life of Heart Failure patients and the decreasing of the social and economic costs. |
| |
| HEARTFAID applications will bring an important increase of the treatment quality of the individual patient, by ensuring the possibility to personalize the therapy and have a real-time monitoring and assistance of the patient; |
| |
| On the other hand, the optimization of the therapy processes will assure the control and reduction of the overall economic and social costs of medical care, by decreasing the frequency of hospital admissions. |
| |
Moreover, the results of HEARTFAID and the technical solutions created inside the project will be used in order to:
- innovate biomedical data communication standards;
- improve the Heart Failure clinical guide lines and protocols;
- develop new models and procedures on the basis of which organize the health care delivery;
- suggest new directives and research policies to policy makers;

Under this respect, the HEARTFAID platform turns out to be an effective and efficient support of a Patient-Centric Heart Failure Care Program.
This can be organized by the suitable involvement and competence integration of different health care environments and operators:
- Home Care environment: the patient himself and his family are considered as active users.
- Home Care environment: the patient himself and his family are considered as active users.
- Secondary Care environment: including cardiology, geriatric and internist medicine wards.
