National Platform for Hypertensive Patient Management

(diagnosis, disease awareness, treatment, complications and follow-up)

About the initiative

The Hypertension Initiative is a national project dedicated to unifying and modernizing the management of hypertensive patients.
The project aims to integrate data from multiple databases and promote interdisciplinary collaboration between medical specialties such as:

The main goal is to optimize the therapeutic response of hypertensive patients through a collaborative and data-driven approach.
A concrete outcome of the project will be the development of a bilingual web platform (Romanian/English), accessible upon justified request.

Final objective of the project

Improving the health of the Romanian population by:

  • interdisciplinary research
  • the use of artificial intelligence (AI)
  • and promoting digital democratization in medicine.

The teams involved will bring together doctors, statisticians, computer scientists, sociologists, and psychologists—doctoral students and researchers—to explore the medical, ethical, and psychosocial dimensions of hypertension.

The project will generate the scientific basis for:

Innovation through Artificial Intelligence

Using advanced machine learning algorithms, the platform will identify distinct profiles of hypertensive patients to enable personalized treatment—with a focus on vulnerable groups:

1.

Elderly with hypertension

2.

Patients with diabetes and hypertension

3.

Develop a psycho-cardiovascular index applicable in personalized screening and medical practice.

4.

Hypertensive patients with other comorbidities (heart failure, neurocognitive disorder etc.)

5.

Special subpopulations of hypertensive patients (pregnant women with hypertension, patients from disadvantaged backgrounds, Roma patients) with arterial hypertension

6.

Patients with treatment-resistant hypertension

AI will also support screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of high-risk patients, such as those who are noncompliant, have multiple cardiovascular or neurological complications, or are on dialysis.

Team & Partners
