BackgroundElevated serum tryptase levels can be a sign of mastocytosis, which is a rare disease associated with systemic and/or skin manifestations.
ObjectiveTo investigate patients with elevated tryptase levels in regard to their underlying diseases, and to determine whether increased tryptase can be used as a diagnostic marker for underlying mastocytosis.
MethodsIn a retrospective study the data...
Measurements in clinical settings of cardiovascular parameters often require usage of adhesive electrodes. Therefore clinical measurement methods are hardly applicable for long-term ambulatory monitoring scenarios, since typically trained medical staff is needed e.g. to place electrodes correctly, this compromising patient comfort and generally are difficult to handle by a patient himself as often...
HeartCycle is a large European Integrated Project (IP) and develops technologies and services for Telehealth, which is to remotely monitor and manage patients at home and motivate them to be compliant to treatment regimens and to a beneficial lifestyle. Telehealth allows healthcare professionals to better control the progress of the therapy, detect upcoming adverse events early and react in time with...
Functional textiles are seen as promising technology to enable healthcare services and medical care outside hospitals due to their ability to integrate textile-based sensing and monitoring technologies into the daily life. In the past much effort has been spent onto basic functional textile research already showing that reliable monitoring solutions can be realized. The challenge remains to find and...
State-of-the-Art disease management for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients is still based on easy-to-acquire measures such as heart rate (HR), weight and blood pressure (BP). However, these measures respond late to changes of the patient health status and provide limited information to personalize and adapt medication therapy. This paper describes our concept called “Cardiac Status Assessment”...
HeartCycle is a large-scale EU integrated project aiming to provide a complete disease management solution for cardiovascular disease patients, with emphasis on Heart Failure (HF) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients. The project develops innovative technologies and services to facilitate remote management of patients at home and motivate them to be compliant to treatment regimes and to adopt...
