Companies and technology centres set up a joint project to improve chronic patients’ quality of life

A consortium of Basque companies from the new technologies sector, entities and technology centres are working on the Kronos project to develop new prevention and self-care services for chronic patients, who now make up a third of the population.

The Kronos project has a holistic approach and works in two areas: to adapt care routes and healthcare provision processes to chronically ill patients, and to develop a series of support mechanisms and an integrated intelligent services platform providing back-up for the prevention and ubiquitous active care of patients suffering Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Diabetes Mellitus and Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
