## 2 Methods Used for Integrated Monitoring and Management of Diet-Related Diseases
### Tailored Patient-Centric RHMS--RO-SmartAgeing System, NeuroPredict Platform, and HepatoCnect System
#### 2.2.3 HepatoConect System  
The HepatoConect system is a currently under-development solution tailored for patients with LC. It is designed to enable home monitoring allowing patients to be under the expert guidance of gastroenterologists. Acknowledging the distinctive challenges linked to LC management, the HepatoConect system utilizes smart technologies for delivering personalized health insights and continuous real-time monitoring. The key features of the HepatoConect system are as follows:  
* _Customized assistance for gastroenterologists_: The HepatoConect system is made with careful consideration to meet the specific requirements of gastroenterologists who are involved in the complex management of LC. Through the smooth integration of telemedicine and health informatics, the HepatoConect system provides gastroenterologists with remote monitoring of their patients;
* _Ensuring efficient management of liver cirrhosis_: Adaptive approaches to the management of the disease are integrated into HepatoConect because it acknowledges the dynamic nature of LC. Because the system responds in real-time to data, gastroenterologists may make informed choices on protocols for treatment, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments. This flexible approach improves the accuracy and efficiency of managing LC;
* _Advanced technologies for at-home monitoring_: The HepatoConect system uses IoMT devices to gather a variety of health parameters. It integrates technologies specifically designed for an at-home smart monitoring environment. Cloud-based technologies enable gastroenterologists to securely access real-time data on vital signs, liver function tests, and other relevant health parameters. With alerts triggered for any discrepancies from reference parameters, this allows for continuous monitoring. Gastroenterologists have access to an exhaustive overview of their patients' health status due to wearable devices, which guarantee an uninterrupted data flow;* _Personalized health insights driving decision making_: One of the main features of the HepatoConect system is its capacity to provide tailored health insights based on information and data that are monitored. By examining patient-specific patterns, gastroenterologists can find links between behaviours and the course of illness. Because of the scalable feature of the system, alerts and recommendations may be made according based on the distinctive profiles of specific patients, ensuring relevant information in line with precise disease management methods;
* _Empowering both patients and gastroenterologists_: By smoothly integrating patient precise health data into healthcare management, the HepatoConect system acts as an empowering tool for both patients and gastroenterologists. Patients may provide access to personal health data, which include dietary habits, medication adherence, and symptoms, by using safe data transmission methods. A thorough patient profile that is enhanced with real-time data is made available to gastroenterologists, facilitating informed and participatory decision making. This combined involvement improves patient outcomes and enables gastroenterologists a comprehensive picture of their patients' health trends;
* _Integrated lifestyle support_: The HepatoConect system goes beyond medical recommendations by providing lifestyle assistance specifically designed to meet the requirements of individuals with LC. The system enhances overall well-being by encouraging compliance to recommended changes in lifestyle and offering actionable insights that integrate with everyday routines;
* _Symptom tracking_: The implementation of a capability that tracks symptoms, such as ascites, jaundice, and fatigue, to enable patients to report and keep track of symptoms related to LC. This information assists in evaluating the impact of the disorder on the patient's everyday life;
* _Dietary recording and analysis_: Integration of a dietary tracking capability that allows patients to record their daily food consumption.
