In Wiener Neustadt, an important country meeting on the subject of heart health was recently held. Experts from all over Austria came together to discuss innovative approaches to telemedical care in heart failure. The event, which was organized in the university hospital, made it easier to exchange the exchanges between representatives of the federal states, research, industry and social security. The aim was to further develop the existing supply models, which suggests a good knack for the future of patient care for the numerous participants.

telemedical trends and future challenges

Telemedical care of patients with heart failure is not only a hot iron in Austria. In Germany, the German Foundation for Chronically ill has recently published an article that examines the current developments and future prospects in this area. Germany has already played a pioneering role here by adding telemedical co-support of heart failure patients to the health insurance catalog. However, in order to exploit the full potential of telemedicine, research is still necessary, as the authors Dr. Bettina Zippel-Schultz and Dr. Emphasize Thomas M. Helms.

in a study under the direction of Professor Dr. med. Christiane Angermann, who was released in 2020, received a group of patients with severe heart failure in the lung artery. The results were encouraging: more than 60 % of the hospital stays could be avoided compared to the previous year, and over 86 % of the patients still lived after one year. Such studies clearly show that telemedical approaches are more than just a temporary trend - they can save lives.
