Hospital@Home: Person-centered Digital Transformation for Integrated Home Care

Objective

The Hospital@Home (H@H) project unites leading academic hospitals and industry in Europe to provide hospital-level care to patients right to their own homes. Designed around five major clinical areas – cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, minor stroke/TIA, migraine, and cluster headache – the H@H project is designed to improve clinical and patient-reported outcomes, enhance patient experience and reduce hospital burden to enable sustainable health systems across Europe. H@H’s powerful, interdisciplinary consortium consists of five leading European university hospitals, MedTech and Pharma partners, patient organizations, and health economics experts. Supported by a robust digital infrastructure, the project integrates wearable monitoring, AI-driven predictive analytics, patient-reported outcomes (PROMs/PREMs) and digital decision support into real-world care pathways. Patient and healthcare professional engagement, ethics, equity and system-level sustainability are structurally woven into every phase of the project’s three-phased methodology of Mapping, Testing, and Implementing. H@H directly addresses the goals of IHI Call 9 Topic 3 by overcoming real-world barriers to digital care integration while firmly placing people’s needs and preferences at the center of the care transformation. The trustworthy AI-supported H@H system will generate new evidence on patient-centered models by integrating PROMs, PREMs, and real-world data. H@H delivers scalable digital platforms and AI tools to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enable sustainable business models. H@H will deliver actionable blueprints for Europe’s healthcare future - boosting patient outcomes while easing system burdens through high-quality, accessible home care.
