Prof Dr Pieter Vandervoort is a practicing cardiologist at Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg in Belgium and co-founder of the University of Hasselt’s Mobile Health Unit. The unit currently supports several hundred cardiac patients with their home-based rehabilitation program. In the process they set up a “clinical call center” that consolidates and systematically monitors telemonitoring data from various devices and applications (e.g. pedometers, blood pressure, weight, heart rate, medication) and intervenes or alerts relevant clinicians when necessary.
