About this trial
The objective of the TRANSCARE study is to evaluate the use of a digital remote monitoring system to reduce the risk of 30-day readmission in multimorbid elderly patients. The pilot study is multicenter, and the trial will be conducted across 3 sites: Italy, Romania, and Norway. The overall goal of the TRANSCARE project is to create a digital monitoring ecosystem capable of identifying and preventing the risk of readmission. Two hundred and ten older adults aged over 65, who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be enrolled in the study. They will be randomized into two groups and allocated to an intervention group or a control group.
