Balearic digital heart care pilot passes health ministry test

People with chronic heart failure in the Balearic Islands received support through a digital care pilot that Minsait says it has now completed. On 8 September in Madrid, the technology firm said the Ministry of Health had certified the pilot’s viability and effectiveness within the planned deadline. The scheme used digital tools to support the follow-up care of heart patients.

The work forms part of the Personalised Digital Care Plan, an EU-funded National Health System strategy intended to tailor public healthcare more closely to each patient’s needs and health. Minsait is deploying its Onesait Healthcare platform for the plan in nine autonomous communities.

In the Balearic Islands, Castile and León and Madrid, the pilots focused on people with chronic heart failure. In Madrid, the plan also covers people with diabetes. Minsait said its platform is also used to monitor people with several chronic conditions, neurodegenerative disorders and survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer.

For projects in Madrid, Asturias, the Canary Islands and Castile and León, the model is intended to track medical devices, ensure they are available and assign them correctly during digital monitoring.

Minsait says it now wants to extend the model to more illnesses, patients and devices. It also plans more tools for ongoing assessment and monitoring, with artificial intelligence intended to support clinical decisions.

Separately, the company has built a network platform for Red Únicas, a scheme for children with rare or less common diseases. It is due to link 50 public hospitals across the autonomous communities. Its next pilot stage is under way in Madrid, Catalonia, Aragón and the Basque Country, before further hospitals are gradually added.
