smartQare supports one of Europe’s largest hospital-at-home programs in region Stockholm

Philips officially announced the launch of the Region Stockholm hospital-at-home program led by Karolinska University Hospital — one of the most ambitious connected care initiatives in Europe.

We are proud that smartQare will play a key role in enabling this next generation of hospital-at-home care in a consortium led by Philips, Cuviva, and Vingmed.

The program marks a major milestone in the future of connected healthcare, enabling hospital-level care to be safely delivered in patients’ homes across the Stockholm region.

smartQare will support the initiative with its viQtor wearable monitoring solution, enabling continuous remote patient monitoring through real-time clinical insights and integrated 5G connectivity. The initiative is expected to support up to 15,000 patients annually and demonstrates how scalable hospital-at-home care can become a reality through strong collaboration and interoperable healthcare technology.

The program is designed to support patients with complex or chronic conditions who require close clinical supervision outside the hospital environment. Through continuous monitoring of vital signs and advanced physiological parameters, healthcare professionals can maintain greater visibility into patient status remotely, supporting earlier intervention and more proactive care decisions when needed.

In addition to continuous monitoring, the connected care model enables closer interaction between patients and healthcare professionals through digital care pathways, virtual consultations and secure communication tools. This creates a more seamless and coordinated care experience while helping clinicians stay connected to patients throughout their treatment and recovery journey at home.

For patients, this means receiving high-quality care in familiar surroundings while maintaining greater comfort, independence and peace of mind. For clinicians, it enables more informed and connected decision-making through continuous access to reliable patient data. For healthcare systems, it represents an opportunity to reduce pressure on hospitals, optimize resources and improve access to care as healthcare demand continues to rise.

By combining advanced wearable technology, interoperable healthcare infrastructure and strong ecosystem partnerships, smartQare is helping accelerate the future of connected hospital-to-home care across Europe.

Together with Philips, Cuviva AB, and Vingmed AB smartQare is helping shape a more connected, scalable and patient-centered future for healthcare.
