Brief Summary

Information and communications technologies (ICT) currently constitute a key element in the innovation and improvement of providing health-care to frail populations with advanced chronic diseases, but it´s efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness has not yet been proven conclusively. The investigators are going to carry out a multi-center, randomized, parallel groups, phase III clinical trial in adult patient with heart and/or lung advanced diseases,aiming to analyze the efficacy and cost-efficacy of tele-monitorization of bio-parameters added to optimal standard of clinical care (shared clinical care plan) compared to the shared clinical care plan exclusively.

    Monitoring number of hospitalizations and/or number of emergency visits in the period.

    Six month

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Number of hospital admissions

    six month

  • Safety by monitoring of adverse events and adverse clinical events related to the two arms of the clinical trial

    six month

  • quality of life related to health, of follow-up in both arms of the clinical trial,

    At the time of inclusion, at 45 days and after 6 months of follow-up.

  • quality of care and satisfaction perceived by the subjects in the two arms of the clinical trial.

    at 45 days and after 6 months of follow-up

  • perceived quality and satisfaction with the technological instruments by the subjects in the two arms of the clinical trial.

    at 45 days and after 6 months of follow-up,

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Tele-monitoring Constant

OTHER

To analyze the efficacy and cost-efficacy of incorporating tele-monitoring of bio-parameters into the shared comprehensive clinical care plan. Patients will receive in their home a kit consisting of a briefcase containing all equipment (scale, pulse-oximeter ... etc) and a logo access to devices (Tablet) through mobile communications m2m between patient and platform Management for Chronic Patients.

Other: Telemonitoring Constant

Standard clinical care

OTHER

Standard clinical care plan shared between plan of attention to the patient with Pluri-pathological process and the care plan for patients with chronic diseases, based on a comprehensive clinical assistance shared between Primary Care and Hospital Care

Other: Standard clinical care

Interventions

telemedicine of Constant

Tele-monitoring Constant

The patient will self-monitor heart rate, blood pressure, weight, diuresis, and capillary glycemia (in the case of diabetes)
