Note:
Integrating palliative care (PC) into heart failure (HF) management is a challenge. Only a small fraction of HF patients (between 5 % and 7 %) currently benefit from PC services. Late referrals, focused primarily on therapeutic optimisation, often overlook patients’ multidimensional needs, leading to undertreatment and diminished quality of life. In this context, the EU-funded RAPHAEL project will use a patient-centred approach to prioritise individual needs, aided by the PAL@HEART app for home monitoring and intervention evaluation. By addressing concerns promptly, RAPHAEL enhances patients’ quality of life, reduces hospitalisations and alleviates strain on healthcare systems. Spanning seven EU Member States, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, RAPHAEL’s interdisciplinary consortium pioneers a scalable model for global implementation.
