• Abstract: Transitional care may play a vital role for the sustainability of Europe 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. However, to be effective, it is essential to integrate 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.

  Recent years have seen a rapid increase in digital medicine research in an attempt to transform traditional healthcare systems. Computer audition can be seen to be lagging behind, at least in terms of commercial interest. We categorise the advances needed in four key pillars: Hear, corresponding to the cornerstone technologies needed to analyse auditory signals in real-life conditions; Earlier, for the advances needed in computational and data efficiency; Attentively, for accounting to individual differences and handling the longitudinal nature of medical data.
