Detection and evaluation of cardiovascular diseases thanks to telemedicine

High blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia or heart attacks – cardiovascular diseases are among the most common causes of death. Telemedicine can help in detecting the often gradual progression of the diseases and support prevention and therapy. The start-up ActiveAction has developed a software platform which enables the management of innovative medical devices along with the simple creation of reports. The Italian company based in Milan is a brand from Medel International srl, which belongs to the Beurer Group. Together, an increased focus is now to be placed on e-health solutions in the fight against cardiovascular diseases.

Telemedicine describes a digital care concept in the medical fields of diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation. In this way, doctors and patients can communicate regularly and over the long term – even remotely. The approach has seen significant development, above all in the last decade, and is becoming an increasingly more important part of the healthcare infrastructure.

What does ActiveAction offer in the field of e-health?

ActiveAction provides a range of medical devices which are compatible with a simple and intuitive software solution. The range includes Holter ECG and ECG devices for monitoring heart health, a Holter blood pressure monitor for long-term blood pressure measurement, a sleep monitor to evaluate sleep quality and a spirometer, which can provide indications regarding lung function as this is also a further important factor for the cardiovascular system.

The ActiveAction software is linked to a Medical Reporting Center, which creates professional medical reports based on the transferred data. This means that within the shortest space of time, precise measurements are available along with analyses validated by experts, which can be forwarded on to a specialist, for example, and discussed directly for a fast result. The Medical Reporting Center is comprised of specialists such as cardiologists and pulmonologists who work in the field of scientific health research. ActiveAction creates significant added value for patients, pharmacists and doctors as e-health makes it possible to identify abnormalities faster and to carry out and document long-term observation.
