eCare
Electronic Care, or eCare, is an Irish project that uses sensors to collect data on home-based patients suffering from a chronic condition such as heart disease. Data is transmitted to a central server over the mobile network, from where clinicians can access it via a web-based interface and quickly decide — perhaps after an exchange of messages with the patient — whether immediate action is required. The system is built around open standards and can potentially be used in any chronic disease management programme.
