Sumario:Digital technologies have the potential to support the implementation of value-based healthcare by enabling personalised patient care and improving health outcomes. The ValueCare project (H2020, No. 875215) aims to deliver personalised integrated (health and social) care services, better outcomes for older people and an improved care experience and is being tested in 7 pilot sites across Europe. The Rijeka pilot site focuses on older patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction (MI), which is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The study will assess the impact of the ValueCare approach on improving health outcomes for older people who have suffered a MI. A total of 240 older people (120 intervention and 120 control subjects) will take part in the study. The intervention group will receive the ValueCare approach, which includes: Consultation between the patient and care provider to discuss the results of the self-reported ICHOM questionnaires; a personalised care plan co-created by the patient and care provider; a digital solution to support the patient's personalised care plan; and monitoring of the personalised care plan by caregivers. ValueCare's digital solution enhances the assessment and monitoring of the personalised care plan through: a mobile application for older people, a wearable, and a web application for caregivers. The mobile application uses a motivation and goal-setting approach, including a Virtual coach who acts as a conversation partner to help participants achieve their personal goals. The impact of the intervention will be evaluated using a self-reported ICHOM Standard Set for Older Persons at three time points: Baseline T0, Follow-up T1 (after 12 months) and T2 (after 18 months). Our results will shed light on the potential of digital technologies to transform the prevention and treatment of MI and ultimately improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. KEY MESSAGES: • Digital health has emerged as a promising approach to transforming healthcare and improving patient's outcomes. • Value-based healthcare improves outcomes and reduces costs for myocardial infarction treatment, putting patients at the center of care.
