We are proud to share the progress of the Horizon 2020 #RETENTIONProject— a groundbreaking initiative focused on improving heart failure patient management through continuous monitoring outside hospitals and the use of real-world data.
At the core of this ecosystem lies the Clinical Site Backend (CSB) Dashboard, designed to empower clinicians with:
📊 Electronic Case Record Files (eCRF) for all trial participants
🔍 Comprehensive patient monitoring (visits, hospitalizations, medication, labs, ECGs, echocardiography, 6MWT, CPET, and more)
📱 Integration with RETENTION patient-edge, transforming patients data into useful knowledge for caregivers
⚠️ Decision Support System (DSS) notifications for timely interventions in the intervention group
The CSB Dashboard is now being tested in the ongoing multi-centric clinical study, where clinicians across Europe are evaluating how remote monitoring and AI-driven insights can transform patient care.
This is a major step toward personalized, data-driven healthcare that keeps patients safer at home while reducing the burden on hospitals.

By combining continuous home monitoring with diverse medical, clinical, physiological, behavioral, psychosocial, and real-world data integration, the RETENTION system enhances clinical decision-making and provides individualized care.
On April 20, 2024, patient recruitment for the RETENTION project officially began.
To date, 57 patients, primarily men (70%), are participating in the project.
Our goal is to reach a larger number of patients, focusing on re-balancing the population involved in this innovative clinical protocol in terms of gender and specific conditions.

El ensayo clínico RETENTION tiene como objetivo analizar si al introducir protocolos de manejo clínico basados en telemonitorización, se mejora el pronóstico en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca con disfunción ventricular izquierda, portadores de asistencia ventricular y receptores de trasplante cardíaco.
👇Mira el siguiente vídeo para saber más y ¡compártelo con quien pueda estar interesado!
📍En España el ensayo clínico se llevará a cabo en dos hospitales:
- Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal (https://www.comunidad.madrid/hospital/ramonycajal/)
- Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro (https://www.comunidad.madrid/hospital/puertadehierro/)
