HEART FAILURE
Heart failure
Luscii provides the tools for patient and professional to keep an eye on the recovery while checking vital signs and symptoms to signal deteriorations and intervene timely in case of need.
We also have a heart failure pathway for GPs, letting you control your own condition from the comfort of your own home.
What is the aim of the program?
- Fewer outpatient clinic visits
- Serve the growing number of patients with the same number of nurses
- Improved patient experience
How does it work?
The Luscii Special Heart Failure program is designed to support patients with congestive heart failure and prevent hospital visits and admissions. Patients with this condition require regular monitoring of their weight, blood pressure, and general health status. With Luscii, patients can perform these check-ups themselves from the comfort of their own homes.
In addition to home monitoring, this program provides patients with educational resources and validated information about living with heart failure using a timeline function. By empowering patients to take control of their health and providing them with access to accurate information and support, Luscii helps improve their quality of life and reduces the risk of hospital admissions.
Overall, the Luscii Special Heart Failure program is an innovative solution that enhances patient self-care, facilitates early detection of complications, and enables healthcare providers to deliver more effective care.

More possible at home
Monitoring at home gives the possibility to do quicker titration of medication for patients.

Early intervention
Increase in weight compared with complaints is often exacerbation of heartfailure and by anticipating earlier we can keep people out of the hospital and prevent symptoms getting worse.
Brigitte den Breemen
Nurse
It gives a sound and safe feeling.
Jordan Samuel

This is better than going to the hospital, especially in the time of Corona.
