Summary

The overall objective of the project is to develop a collaboration model between the patient, the patient's General Practitioner (GP) and the cardiologist at the hospital in a seamless collaborative model dubbed the "Cardio-relay model".

The specific purpose of the pilot project is to ease performing heart rhythm monitoring with focus on diagnosis and evaluation of atrial fibrillation (AF), for patients who have difficulties to attend repeated visits to the hospital-based outpatient clinic.

With available eHealth technologies the cardiologist can access data gathered at the patient's side to provide support to the GP for selecting patients with need for heart rhythm monitoring, plan further evaluations and guide therapeutic decisions. These patients can thereby receive support that without the burden of attending physical meetings at the cardiologist office. The investigators evaluate if the cardio-relay model allows to complete evaluation of frail patients compared to usual care and if patients experience are sufficiently confident accessing the cardiologist through the cardio-relay model.
