Early Detection of Health Deterioration in Elderly Patients After Hospitalization for Heart Failure Decompensation

Main study: A contactless non-intrusive ambient sensor system including infrared motion sensors combined with a contactless Emfit bed sensor will be installed in the home of single living study patients by using a commercially available System (Domo Health®, Lausanne) after informed consent has been obtained. Sensor data are prospectively followed over 3-6 months for predefined indicators of health deterioration. If indicators for health deterioration are present, patients will be called in to the hospital for cardiology consult by the study team including blood analysis for follow-up of BNP values and if necessary, therapy adaption.
