Heart Failure is a rapidly increasing cardiovascular chronic disease that affects millions of people globally. Lack of proper management of HF patients increases the risk of frailty and other undesirable effects and contributes to loss of independence. The engagement of the HF patient and all actors related to his/her disease management, including healthcare professionals, caregivers (formal/informal), healthcare providers, nutritionists, fitness experts and health insurance experts is critical for empowering the patients in achieving sustainable behaviour change, regarding their adherence and compliance. To address this, the concept and the architecture of a mobile co-operative platform are described. The design and development is based on a multi-stakeholder patient centered mHealth ecosystem for HF patients that will facilitate the collaboration of multidisciplinary actors.

Abstract
Heart Failure is a rapidly increasing cardiovascular chronic disease that affects millions of people globally. Lack of proper management of HF patients increases the risk of frailty and other undesirable effects and contributes to loss of independence. The engagement of the HF patient and all actors related to his/her disease management, including healthcare professionals, caregivers (formal/informal), healthcare providers, nutritionists, fitness experts and health insurance experts is critical for empowering the patients in achieving sustainable behaviour change, regarding their adherence and compliance. To address this, the concept and the architecture of a mobile co-operative platform are described. The design and development is based on a multi-stakeholder patient centered mHealth ecosystem for HF patients that will facilitate the collaboration of multidisciplinary actors.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
