New care pathways for supporting transitional care from hospitals to home using AI and personalized digital assistance.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transitional care may play a vital role in the sustainability of Europe's future healthcare system, offering solutions for relocating patient care from hospital to home, therefore addressing the growing demand for medical care as the population is ageing. Re-hospitalization for the same initial pathological cause is a recurrent problem among older adults with chronic conditions such as heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, to be effective, it is nowadays essential to integrate into the transitional care process innovative Information and Communications Technology technologies to ensure that patients with comorbidities experience a smooth and coordinated transition from hospitals or care centers to home, thereby reducing the risk of rehospitalization. In this paper, we present an overview of the integration of Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and digital assistance technologies with traditional care pathways to address the challenges and needs of healthcare systems in Europe. We identify the current gaps in transitional care and define the technology mapping to enhance the care pathways, aiming to improve patient outcomes, safety, and quality of life, avoiding hospital readmissions. Finally, we define the trial setup and evaluation methodology needed to provide clinical evidence that supports the positive impact of technology integration on patient care and discuss the potential effects on the healthcare system.
