ABSTRACT
This paper describes the continuation of a project that aims at establishing an interoperable annotation scheme for quantification phenomena as part of the ISO suite of standards for semantic annotation, known as the Semantic Annotation Framework. After a break, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the project was relaunched in early 2022 with a second working draft, which deals with certain issues in the annotation of quantification in a more satisfactory way than the original first working draft.

ABSTRACT
Background The NEW-TS 1 study has studied the 3 first years of use of the NEWCARD Telemonitoring system for heart failure. Based of it, different upgrades were implemented in 2020, especially a new algorithm. Purpose This study is designed to study a more mature and constant telemonitoring device. To enhance the quality of our protocol, we have also reinforced the monitoring process of hospitalisations. Methods The inclusion criterias of the patients were almost opened to every heart failure one, due to an amendment of the ETAPES experimentation at the start of 2020 with the COVID pandemic. Patients have to be followed as least 3 months during 2020 year. Classical baseline characteristics for heart failure are monitored at the start of the study. Everyday were measured at home patient weight, heart rate, blood pressure and dyspnea status. Those datas were analysed by the system algorithm and alarms were sent and monitored according to the NEWCARD process. Events (especially death and hospitalisations) were monitored by 3 differents sources: NEWCARD nurses, patients and their cardiologists. Every hospitalization anonymised has to be classified by an independent committee. We will study different parameters (compliance, evolution of datas, alarms generated, types of answers to them, hospitalisations and the predictive value of the system for them). Results On 1262 patients, the mean age was 75. The averages for baseline medical datas were: 40% for systolic function, 29% for diabetes, 61% for sinusal rhythm. For BNP and NTproBNP, means were 915 and 4018 (pg/ml respectively). Conclusion We conducted a retrospective study on 1262 patients in order to assess the accuracy of the telemonitoring system NEWCARD in mature and “real life” conditions. We will also take the opportunity of this study to the process. This “real-life” conditions study will be followed by a medico economic study based on the 2020 datas (NEW-TS 3).
