Description

System and method for intervening in heart failure patients and computer program therefor The embodiments relate to a heart failure patient intervention system and method and a computer program for the same. More specifically, the embodiments relate to a technology that receives data such as step count, sleep, stress, heart rate, and body composition of a heart failure patient, as well as input information such as medication, exercise, and patient-reported outcomes (PRO), through a wearable device, and provides feedback received from a medical staff terminal to a user terminal based on such lifelog data. Heart failure is one of the major diseases with a rapidly increasing prevalence worldwide. Patients with heart failure have a very poor prognosis if they do not receive appropriate treatment and management, which can significantly reduce their quality of life. In particular, although the period from discharge to the first outpatient visit is a critical time that determines the long-term health status of heart failure patients, there is a lack of devices or applications that can effectively monitor the patient's condition during this time. Currently available monitoring devices and apps for heart failure patients are limited, and in most cases, they have limitations in accurately assessing the patient's condition in real time or providing appropriate feedback. Consequently, despite the growing importance of pre- and post-initial outpatient management for heart failure patients, the lack of effective monitoring and management tools makes it difficult to ensure the continuity of patient care. To address this issue, there is an urgent need for the development of new devices and applications capable of continuously monitoring and managing the condition of heart failure patients.
