The HUMT participates in a project on the integration of care in the implantation of cardiac stimulation devices


Over the last months, the HUMT - through the MútuaTerrassa Teaching and Research Foundation - participates in the development of a European project of public purchase of innovative solutions that proposes the evolution in the treatment of patients with bradycardia who need a pacemaker. It is called Ritmocore and the proposed approach promotes a comprehensive model of care.


In this sense, it is a project that aims to integrate the entire process of implanting devices and their control through the exchange of information, involving the industry - sharing risks -, taking over patients, involving Primary Care and generate a product that has a positive impact on the population.



It is expected that within the structure, as a fundamental part, remote home monitoring of the devices will be included, making it possible for patients not to have to come to the routine face-to-face checks to External Consultations. The proposed approach also promotes a comprehensive care model that works to align objectives among all the actors involved (providers, physicians, hospitals and patients).



The points of the project are currently being defined and the steps to address the advertising of the offer to the industry are being programmed. The works are being carried out among the Catalan centers, carried out by the Agency for Health Quality and Evaluation of Catalonia (Aqua).
