Home telemonitoring in smart rurality: results from the HIS2R interreg feasibility pilot study.
Article in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsThe Health in Smart Rurality Interreg project aims to assess the feasibility of telemonitoring in rural areas across the Franco-Belgian border among patients affected by heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The objectives were to better understand strengths or barriers to implementing telemonitoring for early detection of potential adverse events, for improving quality of life, communication, and care coordination.
methodsUsing a prospective 6-month observational design, interconnected pads were provided to community-dwelling adults aged over 60 years. The device monitored daily body weight, temperature, cardiac rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. Using predefined warning thresholds, data were analyzed by a nurse case-manager who also provided therapeutic education during their contacts.
resultsOut of 87 eligible and screened patients, 21 (24%) were included in the study. At the end of the follow-up, 19 patients (90%) were re-assessed. The rate of hospitalization and mortality was high (32% and 10%, respectively). A total of 644 alerts were recorded (median of 29 alerts/patients) with a high rate of technically-related alerts (TRA) (26%). Out of the 475 non-TRA, 79% and 1% have led to an intervention by the case-manager or the physician, respectively. Therapeutic adjustment was proposed for 12 patients during that period.
conclusionTelemonitoring appears to be a promising solution for the follow-up of patients living far from medical resources. The contribution of a case-manager is of added-value in managing alerts, therapeutic education, and coaching. Many questions remain open such as the improvement of technical aspects and long-term compliance in a real-world setting.
