Summary

In this study, patients presenting with acute infections at risk of developing sepsis will be followed in their home setting using wearables that provide (semi-)continue monitoring of vital signs as well as through follow up using a designated smartphone application. This is an innovative pilot study that will examine the potential of transmural care through telemonitoring for the first time in patients at risk for developing sepsis. By allowing for active follow-up of vital parameters in a transmural setting, this project aims to reduce the number of hospitalizations as compared to current practice. Furthermore, we aim to the number of patients referred to the emergency department after a visit at their primary care physician. Thereby, we aim to reduce the healthcare burden, yet providing the ability for rapid intervention in case of detarioration of patients, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality as well as associated costs.
